Featured In the August 2019 Issue of Roadracing World:

      It’s been a few years since Yamaha decided to unify
model names worldwide, relabeling what were the U.S.-market models with
European market names.

      After doing that, the company refined what was the
FJ-09 in the U.S. and re-named it the Tracer 900, and added an upgraded Tracer
900 GT. The result is a convenient sport tourer capable of covering a lot of
miles in comfort.

      The Tracer 900 and Tracer 900 GT share the FJ-09’s
original liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC, inline three-cylinder engine, with
a displacement of 847cc coming from a bore and stroke of 78.0mm x 59.1mm.

      Compression ratio is unchanged at 11.5:1, and the
engine continues to feature cylinders offset from the crankshaft to reduce
friction on the power stroke, fracture-split connecting rods, velocity stacks
with staggered lengths, and a “crossplane concept” crankshaft with uneven power
pulses to deliver more linear torque …

Yamaha’s
magnificent inline three-cylinder engine powers a lot of the company’s
vehicles, and the Tracer models put that engine prowess to use in a wide
variety of roles. It’s a tourer that can sport quite nicely, thank you very
much. Read all about Yamaha’s versatile, functional and rapid do-it-all Tracer
