With advanced features such as active cruise control, a 7-inch connected dashboard with full Garmin navigation, radar linked unified braking, third gen quick shifter & KYB semi-active suspension to name a few, the Tracer 9 GT+ is the ultimate choice for sports touring riders.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
TRACER 9 GT+ is the first Yamaha motorcycle to be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The system automatically controls cruising speed, deceleration and acceleration to match the speed of the vehicle in front and maintain constant following distance, based on four adjustable pre-sets, making every ride smoother and more relaxing.
7-inch TFT Meter
The large 7-inch full-colour TFT meter feature a high luminosity display that provides you with clear and easy to read information about real-time running conditions. You have the choice of three different screen layouts, each with its own distinctive style to match individual preferences and different riding conditions. A USB-A outlet below the meter keeps your smartphone ready for action
Connectivity and navigation
Operated by a simple joystick, the sophisticated new connected full-colour 7-inch TFT screen features a choice of three display styles. Through Yamaha’s MyRide App you have access to your smartphone for music, weather, calls** and notifications. Enabled for full-map Garmin Navigation* that makes every journey easier – while texts can be displayed when your TRACER 9 GT+ is parked. (* Full-map Garmin Navigation requires a subscription service agreement and is not offered in all countries. Some navigation features are not available in all countries, please check with Garmin for availability. ** Requires Bluetooth connected headset linked to the TRACER 9 GT+. Headset not included.)
Radar linked Unified Brake System
For a high degree of stability and controllability the Unified Brake System incorporates a hydraulic unit that automatically distributes braking force from rider inputs to both wheels in an unobtrusive way. TRACER 9 GT+ is the world’s first motorcycle to adopt an innovative new radar-linked system that assists the rider’s braking input when required and adjusts front/rear braking bias when the distance to the vehicle in front closes to a certain level.
3rd generation quickshifter
Yamaha’s 3rd generation up and down quickshifter gives you even more flexibility in your riding style. Now you can also make clutchless downshifts while accelerating when you want even more drive – and even shift up while decelerating for reduced engine braking.
Seat Comfort
Long distance touring is more comfortable with a redesigned seat. A revised shape and foam density gives better support for long riding days and a the leather-like material, embossing and stitching provides a premium image to the increased function.
KYB semi-active suspension
Fully adjustable electronic front and rear suspension is governed by the 6-axis IMU and ECU which instantaneously adjust the damping settings via a solenoid to achieve a smooth and secure ride – regardless of the load or riding conditions. Modes are set through the TFT interface.
EU5 890cc CP3 engine
Developing high levels of linear torque at low to mid rpm, the 890cc liquid cooled CP3 engine gives you an extremely broad spread of thrilling performance. Whatever your mood the TRACER 9 GT+ is built to deliver everything from adrenaline-charged acceleration through to high-speed sports rides and relaxed cruising. It’s the definitive Sport Tourer.
Integrated ride modes
Setting your TRACER 9 GT+ is made easy with the new integrated ride modes. You have a choice of three pre-set options – Sport / Street/ Rain – with different intervention settings for the traction control, slide control, lift control and electronically controlled suspension. And with the fourth Custom option you can adjust each level individually to create your own unique riding mode, via the backlit handlebar switches.
Versatile, Lightweight chassis
TRACER 9 GT+ is equipped with a lightweight CF die-cast aluminium Deltabox-style frame providing high levels of rigidity that gives sport bike agility with sure-footed confidence. For excellent high-speed stability combined with sporty cornering and agile handling the Bridgestone T32 tyres give confidence in any condition.
The complete GT package
As standard the TRACER 9 GT+ is equipped with fully integrated heated grips, touring hard cases, each able to contain a full-face helmet, LED lighting including Cornering lights and a centre stand; providing the ultimate foundation for long distance touring.
Dedicated colours and graphics
TRACER 9 GT+ is offered in two colours using high quality, split paint techniques. With a mature, subtle style, the Pastel Dark Grey colour projects a look of refined high quality that matches the bike’s status as Yamaha’s ultimate Sport Tourer. Featuring blue wheels and Liquid metal bodywork with black upper surfaces, the Icon Performance colour conveys a high-tech feel inspired by the R1M.
