4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Built from 2018 to 2020 on chassis RN57 before the 890cc Tracer 9 overhaul, the Tracer 900 GT added a 60mm longer swingarm, TFT dash, cruise control, and color-matched panniers.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Unlike the later 890cc Tracer 9 (3.2 L), this 847cc CP3 sump takes 2.4 L drain-only and 2.7 L with spin-on filter HF204—do not overfill using 890cc specs.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Inspect the low-slung cast aluminum oil pan and drain boss carefully when using paddock lifts or riding over steep speed bumps loaded with panniers.
- Never force the remote rear shock preload adjuster knob past its minimum or maximum stops, or air will enter the hydraulic preload collar.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What oil volume, JASO grade, and oil filter code does the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (RN57 847cc) (2018–2020) require?
Because its wet multi-plate clutch shares engine oil with the gearbox, run SAE 10W-40 (JASO MA2) at 2.4 L (2.54 US qt) drain-only and 2.7 L (2.85 US qt) with filter (5GH-13440-80 / HF204).
How do you accurately check the oil level on the Tracer 900 GT (RN57 847cc), and what are its service intervals?
Hold the motorcycle dead-vertical on level ground 2–3 minutes after warm shutdown and verify the oil sits mid-way between the Upper and Lower marks in the crankcase sight glass—never on the sidestand. Torque the drain plug to 43 N·m with a new crush washer. Factory oil change intervals are every 10,000 km, with valve clearance inspection every 40,000 km.
What are the cold tire pressures, puncture repair type, seat height, and range of the Tracer 900 GT (RN57 847cc)?
Fitted with 120/70ZR17M/C (58W) front and 180/55ZR17M/C (73W) rear tubeless rims (compatible with roadside plug kits), set cold tire pressures to 36 / 42 PSI (250/290 kPa) solo or 36 / 42 PSI loaded. Seat height is 850 mm (33.5 in) at 215 kg wet weight, delivering ~351 km per 18 L tank.
