2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 for Sale

Chassis / Suspension

• LIGHTWEIGHT CF ALUMINUM DIE-CAST FRAME: To achieve both sporty performance and excellent riding comfort, the TRACER 9 features a lightweight aluminum Deltabox frame with model-specific tuning. Using Yamaha's exclusive Controlled Filling (CF) aluminum die-casting technology, this frame features the thinnest sections ever on a Yamaha die-cast frame. The rigidity of the head pipe and cross tube has been optimized, and along with a longer and lighter subframe contributes to increased rider/passenger comfort and an enhanced feeling of stability.
• LIGHTWEIGHT, HIGH-RIGIDITY SWINGARM: The TRACER 9 features boxed construction formed by welding together aluminum plates for both high rigidity and light weight, conveying the feeling of drive force to the rider and aiding with excellent traction at high speeds and when cornering.
• LIGHTWEIGHT SPINFORGED ALUMINUM WHEELS: Manufactured using Yamaha-exclusive spin forging technology, the TRACER 9's lightweight wheels decrease in the momentum of inertia at the rear by 11%, contribute to its agile handling character.
• HIGH PERFORMANCE KYB® SUSPENSION: TRACER 9's features an adjustable 41mm KYB® inverted front fork and adjustable KYB® monoshock rear suspension enabling quick, easy adjustments to achieve the best set-up for every ride, whether riding solo or two-up. A revised rear linkage improves rear tire traction and optimizes chassis positioning and load distribution when cornering.
• NISSIN RADIAL FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER: To provide excellent controllability, the TRACER 9 features a radial Nissin master cylinder for the front brake. The piston in the master cylinder moves in a direction parallel to brake lever travel, contributing to a more linear supply of hydraulic pressure for excellent control and feel.
• IMPROVED ERGONOMICS: Ergonomic enhancements include a larger, manually adjustable windscreen, revised handlebar angle, a more comfortable seat design and an updated seating position for better long-distance comfort.

Electronics

• RIDE-BY-WIRE YCC-T THROTTLE SYSTEM WITH APSG: The TRACER 9's Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) and Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (ASPG) ride-by-wire unit provides exceptional throttle feel. With the APSG, the degree of throttle opening is detected by a sensor and magnet and reflected with signals to the throttle valve motor. For good operational feel, the APSG is comprised of a spring, slider and gear and produces varying degrees of friction (resistance) to recreate a natural throttle feel during use.
• SIX-AXIS IMU: The TRACER 9 features an advanced six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The engine control unit (ECU) receives and reflects data from the IMU and is equipped with three rider aids: a Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), front-wheel LIFt control system (LIF) and a Back Slip Regulator (BSR). The Brake Control System is controlled by the Hydraulic Control Unit (separate unit from ECU) which modulates front and rear brake pressure based on data from the IMU as well as the front and rear wheel speed sensors. All systems work together to help the rider concentrate on better extracting the machine's potential. Each of the systems can also be turned on or off and have their levels of intervention adjusted to preference.
• LEAN ANGLE-SENSITIVE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM: The Traction Control System (TCS) detects the difference in speed between the front and rear wheels and helps to efficiently extract drive force from the rear tire during acceleration. The TCS on the TRACER 9 uses this data for the lean angle, estimated by the IMU to adjust the degree of intervention by the TCS. As the lean angle increases, so does the amount of TCS intervention (1 = little intervention; 2 = moderate intervention; 3 = strong intervention). TCS can also be switched off.
• MOTOGP®-DEVELOPED SLIDE CONTROL SYSTEM (SCS): The TRACER 9 features the Slide Control System (SCS), just like the one on the acclaimed YZF-R1. When the IMU predicts that a sideward slide is occurring at the rear tire, the SCS responds by adjusting the power output to help the rider focus on riding. The degree of intervention is pre-set for the TCS with Mode 1 and Mode 2, but Mode M allows for the level of intervention to be selected or for the system to be turned off.
• LIFT CONTROL SYSTEM (LIF): The three-level LIFt Control System (LIF) intervenes when the IMU predicts front-wheel lift to adjust the engine's output to compensate and assist the rider. On the TRACER 9, the system settings are focused on providing smooth behavior once the intervention ceases. The LIFt system's intervention is set up to work together with the other rider aids, and the level of intervention can be chosen manually by the rider or turned off.
• BACK SLIP REGULATOR: A Back Slip Regulator (BSR) reduces rear wheel lock up under engine braking by controlling the level of torque supplied to the wheel. This system shines in low-grip situations or other scenarios when it is difficult for the slipper clutch to perform.
• CUSTOMIZABLE YRC RIDE MODES: Owners can customize their riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow the selection of engine power characteristics and electronic intervention levels to suit conditions or rider preference. For quick, easy selections, three integrated riding modes are programmed with factory settings to suit different situations: SPORT, STREET and RAIN. Additionally, riders can create two custom programs with tailored settings to suit exact preferences.
• YAMAHA VARIABLE SPEED LIMITER: Yamaha Variable Speed Limiter (YVSL) gives the rider the ability to set a top-speed limit for the motorcycle to ensure a rider-selected speed is not unintentionally exceeded.

Engine

• LIQUID-COOLED 890CC CP3 POWER: Developing high levels of linear torque at low to mid rpm, the 890cc liquid cooled CP3 engine produces outstanding acceleration and thrilling power delivery characteristics that are perfect for Sport Touring. Optimized gear ratios and the advanced A&S clutch deliver super-smooth performance while the glorious wail from the CP3's tuned intake system amplifies the thrill of every ride.
• LIGHTWEIGHT FORGED PISTONS: Superior quality lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power.
• FRACTURE-SPLIT CONNECTING RODS: The forged connecting rods are made using the fracture-split method-”where the big-end ring of the connecting rod is purposefully fractured and then reassembled-”to ensure an unparalleled degree of manufacturing accuracy. This creates a pair of perfectly matching halves that produce a much more precise mating surface when the rods are bolted together again around the crankshaft.
• OFFSET & DIRECT-PLATED CYLINDERS: The CP3 engine mounts its three cylinder bores forward, towards the exhaust side. This offset reduces the piston to cylinder wall friction, creating more power and improved fuel economy while the direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction.
• ADVANCED INTAKE RESONANCE: The TRACER 9 employs an advanced intake system designed to perfectly suit the powerful CP3 engine, providing linear response when the rider opens and closes the throttle. The three intake ducts also contribute to the excellent engine sound at midrange and high rpm. These ducts are designed with different cross sections and lengths so that the intake sounds they produce individually resonate harmoniously at varying wavelength ranges. At the same time, the sound pressure has also been tuned to create a pleasing sound in the mid- and high-rpm range. The result is an air cleaner box that achieves both good intake efficiency and an enjoyable sound.
• ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH: The TRACER 9 features an Assist and Slipper (A&S) clutch for a lighter clutch lever pull and smoother chassis behavior during downshifts.
