2019 Yamaha Tracer 900GT Overview
For 2019, Yamaha offers the Tracer 900GT as a super motard motorcycle with 847 cc on tap. The 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900GT is built around an In-line three, four-stroke engine running Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC) valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.5 :1. Out on the road, the Tracer 900GT delivers 84.6 kW @ 10,000 rpm of peak power and 87.5 Nm @ 8,500 rpm of torque. In everyday use, the 2019 Tracer 900GT carries a 18-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 845 mm - 860 mm and spans a 1440 mm wheelbase. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900GT spec sheet below.
2019 Tracer 900GT - Pros & Cons
Strengths
-
⚡
Strong power output: Peak output on the Tracer 900GT is 84.6 kW @ 10,000 rpm and 87.5 Nm @ 8,500 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
-
🔧
Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
-
⛽
Large fuel range: With a 18-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.
Considerations
-
📏
Tall seat height: A 845 mm - 860 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
-
⚙️
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.
Wear Points & Servicing Notes
Cooling system servicing
With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.
Fuelling & injector care
Fuelling on the Tracer 900GT comes from fuel injectionwith YCC-T. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.
Valve clearance checks
Valve clearances on Double Overhead Cams/Twin Cam (DOHC)-equipped engines like the Tracer 900GT's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.
Brake disc and pad wear
2x 298mm discs, ABS up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.
Suspension condition on used examples
Suspension duties are handled by 41mm fork, adjustable preload and rebound damping up front and Rear single shock, adjustable preload and rebound damping at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.
Final drive maintenance
Chain final drive on the Tracer 900GT means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.
Frame & chassis check
The Diamond frame chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.
Tracer 900GT - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
A pre-purchase check on the 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900GT should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept Tracer 900GT settles to a smooth idle within seconds.
Oil and filter changes
Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a Tracer 900GT's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. The sump holds 3.40 litres, so budget for that volume of quality motorcycle-specific engine oil. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.
Fuel system care
Injector systems like the Tracer 900GT's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.
Valve clearance service
There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if a Tracer 900GT's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
