2. Automated manual transmission
Y-AMT offers fully automatic or manual shifting via a finger-operated see-saw switch, working seamlessly with Yamaha Ride Control electronics to tailor engine and transmission response. It’s the perfect balance between an engaging ride experience and everyday ease.

3. Customisable ride modes
Yamaha Ride Control lets riders adapt the Tracer 9 GT+ Y-AMT to conditions and preferences, with three factory modes – SPORT, STREET and RAIN – plus two custom settings adjustable via the dashboard or Yamaha’s MyRide app.

4. Semi-active electronic suspension
KYB’s KADS electronic suspension uses six-axis IMU and ECU inputs to dynamically adjust damping, linking with YRC modes to optimise comfort, control and stability across varying road surfaces, riding styles and load conditions.

Radar-controlled cruise control works with Y-AMT and KADS to maintain speed, gear and distance to traffic ahead, while blind-spot detection provides mirror warnings when another vehicle enters the rider’s blind spot.

6. Intelligent brake system
The Unified Brake System automatically balances braking force front to rear for strong, controlled stops, while Vehicle Hold Control applies rear brake pressure when stationary, helping smooth, confident take-offs on hills and inclines.

7. Full-colour TFT dash with Garmin nav
The 7-inch TFT offers three display themes and Garmin LinkBox navigation, with calls, messages and music via the Yamaha MyRide app. It’s controlled by a five-way joystick, plus there’s integrated storage and a USB-A charging outlet.

8. Intelligent features
Smart Key technology enables keyless ignition and central locking for the steering, fuel cap and luggage, while the electronically adjustable windscreen offers stepless height adjustment to improve wind protection, reduce buffeting and enhance comfort for both rider and pillion.

9. TPMS and a long-life chain
The standard Tyre Pressure Monitoring System displays real-time front and rear pressures on the TFT and will warn of pressure loss, while a low-maintenance DID drive chain with diamond-like coated rollers reduces friction, meaning less adjustments and improved long-term durability.
