2026 Yamaha Tracer 9 Raven

KEY FEATURES

• Integrated riding modes

  • Both TRACER 9 models benefit from five Ride Modes (three preset and two customizable) which are fully integrated with the six-axis IMU and other technologies, such as the comprehensive suite of lean-sensitive rider aids, and Cruise Control.

  • These Ride Modes, ‘Sport’, ‘Street’, ‘Rain’, ‘Custom 1’ and ‘Custom 2’ can be toggled on the fly. When using the app, any new custom YRC settings will be uploaded and available for the rider to select the next time the app is connected to the bike.

• Third Generation Quickshifter
  • Yamaha’s third generation quickshifter enables quick, clutchless up and down gear changes during both acceleration and deceleration allowing a wider range of functionality and more flexibility in your riding style. It also works in conjunction with the new Adaptive Cruise Control, allowing riders to change gears without disengaging Cruise Control.

• More comfortable ergonomics

  • The new, lighter subframe is 50mm longer than the item found on the previous generation TRACER 9, allowing for a more generous pillion seat area. The rider seat has been reshaped and is flatter, with more padding. The stand-over distance has been reduced through the slimming and reshaping of the front area of the saddle, meaning a more reassured and confidence inspiring experience, especially for shorter riders.

    The seat has two height settings, allowing the saddle to be raised by 15mm, without the need for any tools, while a heated seat is available as an option from the Yamaha Genuine Accessories range.

ENGINE

• Powerful 890cc Liquid-Cooled Three-Cylinder DOHC Fuel-Injected Engine
  • The Tracer 9 features the world-renowned crossplane crankshaft 890cc CP3 engine. With a bore × stroke of 78 mm × 62.1 mm and an 11.5:1 compression ratio, it provides the type of broad, linear torque and thrilling power delivery character that's perfect for Sport Touring
• Lightweight Forged Pistons
  • Superior quality lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power.
• 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.
• 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.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

• Lightweight CF aluminum die-cast frame  
  • To achieve both sporty performance and excellent riding comfort, the Tracer 9 GT+ adopts a lightweight aluminum 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.    
• Lightweight SpinForged wheels    
  • The lightest design ever fitted to a production Yamaha –  the SpinForged wheels on the Tracer 9 GT reduce unsprung weight for superior suspension feel and performance. These ultra-light wheels also contribute towards the Tracer 9 GT’s exceptional fuel efficiency.
• Adjustable ergonomics
  • The Tracer 9’s ergonomics can be easily adjusted to suit different physiques and riding styles. Changes to the ergonomics can be made by adjusting the footrests by 15 mm up or down, and the handlebar position can also be moved forwards by 9 mm and upwards by 4 mm by reversing the direction of the handlebar clamps, giving a total of eight different riding positions.
• 2-position adjustable seat    
  • The Tracer 9’s handlebar/footrest/seat layout has been carefully developed to give a sporty yet comfortable riding position that gives you controllability with comfort. A two-position seat enables tool-free height adjustment, enabling you to customize the ergonomics to match your riding style and physique.

DETAILS

6-Axis IMU plus lean-sensitive rider aids    
The Tracer 9 is equipped with some of the most advanced electronic rider aids in the class, giving you added confidence and precise controllability in different weather and road surface conditions. Developed from the R1M, the compact 6-axis IMU governs a lean-sensitive, three-mode Traction Control System (TCS), as well as a Slide Control System (SCS), front wheel LIFt Control System (LIF) and Brake Control system (BC). 
    
Hard side cases    
hard side cases with matching colour panels are fitted as standard equipment (each case can accommodate a full-face helmet). For a natural riding feeling, the cases are mounted to a fully floating carrier system. An optional top case can also be fitted.

LED cornering lights    
Next-generation LED cornering lights highlight the apex of every bend to help guide you in the darkest nights. Brightness is automatically increased as the banking angle gets steeper, giving a clear field of vision that allows for sporty riding long into the night. The system operates when the bike is leaned at more than 7 degrees at 5 km/h and above.

Full LED lighting    
Compact LED lighting is featured throughout the Tracer 9. Separate high/low mono-focus headlights give the bike a dynamic new look and provide superior illumination in any situation. LED flashers reinforce the bike’s premium status, and a signature taillight enhances the bike’s agile looks and sporty feel.
