Which phone mount for the Yamaha Tracer 9?

The Yamaha Tracer 9 is a sport-tourer designed for long distances. Its CP3 three-cylinder engine, raised handlebar, and shaped windshield make it a machine capable of eating up the miles on motorways and winding roads alike. To navigate by GPS without looking down while riding, your choice of phone mount directly affects your riding comfort, ride after ride.

The Tracer 9 range comes in three versions: standard, GT, and GT+. On the standard and GT, the windshield leaves space around the handlebar to position the screen freely. On the GT+, the more enclosed cockpit requires an adjustable mount: a fixed-angle model often positions the screen behind the windshield, outside your natural field of vision. This guide presents the mounts suited to each version and the recommendation for your model.

Which phone mount should you choose first for the standard Tracer 9?

On the standard Tracer 9, the raised handlebar is clear and compatible with the entire range without an adapter. The main recommendation for this version is the Moto with magnetic sleeve, at €29.95. Its elastic strap mount installs in seconds without tools, and its magnetic sleeve receives your phone one-handed, even with gloves on.

Moto (€29.95): elastic strap mount and magnetic sleeve

This mount attaches via elastic strap to the standard raised handlebar of the Tracer 9, without tools or an adapter. The magnetic sleeve receives your phone in under two seconds, gloves on. It protects the screen from water splashes on rides in the rain.

Its angle is fixed, aligned with the handlebar. It is the natural entry point for GPS navigation on the standard Tracer 9 and GT. For daily GPS navigation or long stages, the Moto PRO BOOST is the upgrade version with a 360° adjustable extension arm.

Why is the Moto PRO BOOST essential on the Tracer 9 GT+?

The Moto PRO BOOST (€49.95) is our main recommendation for the Tracer 9 GT+. Its screw-on mount and 360° extension arm let you angle the screen under the GT+'s raised windshield, where a fixed-angle mount simply cannot reach.

Moto PRO BOOST (€49.95): screw-on mount and 360° extension arm

Its screw-on mount fits the standard raised handlebar of the Tracer 9 without drilling or modification. The 360° extension arm repositions in seconds, even with motorcycle gloves on. You angle the screen precisely in your line of sight, under the windshield or to the side.

On the Tracer 9 GT+, this extension arm is the key to moving the screen away from the taller windshield and placing it right in front of you while riding. On the standard, the Moto PRO BOOST remains the best choice if you navigate by GPS daily or tackle long stages.

Under the windshield of the Tracer 9 GT+, the 360° extension arm does not adjust at a standstill: it repositions while riding, gloves on, to place the screen exactly where your gaze naturally falls.

The Moto PRO: the intermediate option for the standard Tracer 9 and GT

The Moto PRO combines a screw-on mount and magnetic sleeve, without the 360° extension arm. Its angle is fixed, aligned with the handlebar. Compatible with the standard Tracer 9 and GT, this mount suits riders whose natural handlebar position is sufficient to read the screen without constraint. Price: €39.95.

Moto PRO (€39.95): screw-on mount, fixed angle

Same robust screw-on mount as the Moto PRO BOOST, without the adjustable extension arm. Its angle stays aligned with the handlebar, which suits riders whose natural riding position on the standard or GT Tracer 9 allows them to read the screen directly. The magnetic sleeve protects the screen from water splashes and can be placed one-handed, even with gloves on.

Not recommended for the Tracer 9 GT+: its more enclosed cockpit requires the active orientation that only the 360° extension arm can provide.

How do you protect your camera on the Tracer 9 over long distances?

Apple explicitly advises against mounting an iPhone directly on a motorcycle handlebar subject to strong vibrations. Prolonged exposure can irreversibly damage the camera's optical image stabilizer (OIS) and autofocus (Apple Support). On long stages with the Tracer 9, the anti-vibration module directly addresses this risk.

The Tracer 9's CP3 three-cylinder engine is known for its good vibration balance, but over several hours of riding, vibrations accumulate. The magnetic sleeve already absorbs some of the frequencies transmitted by the handlebar. This risk applies to all smartphones equipped with an optical image stabilizer, Android included: Apple is simply the most explicit brand in its official documentation.

Anti-vibration module (€14.95): OIS protection over long distances

This module is inserted between the handlebar mount and the magnet. Tool-free installation in seconds. It filters harmful frequencies before they reach your device's optical image stabilizer. Compatible with the Moto PRO BOOST, the Moto PRO, and the Moto.

Recommended for any ride of more than 30 minutes on the Tracer 9.

Frequently asked questions

Four questions come up regularly when choosing a phone mount for the Tracer 9. Compatibility by version — standard, GT, or GT+ — differences between models, rain protection, and tool-free installation: here are the direct answers. For other Yamaha models and naked bikes from other brands, see our motorcycle model guides.

What is the difference between the standard Tracer 9 and the GT+ when choosing a mount?

The main difference is the cockpit configuration. On the standard and GT, the windshield leaves space to position the screen freely. On the GT+, the more enclosed cockpit makes the Moto PRO BOOST's 360° extension arm essential. Without it, a fixed-angle mount positions the screen behind the windshield, outside your natural line of sight.

Is the Moto PRO BOOST compatible with the Tracer 9 GT+?

Yes, it is our main recommendation for this version. Its 360° extension arm lets you move the screen away from the raised windshield and angle it toward you while riding. Its screw-on mount fits the standard raised handlebar of the GT+ without drilling or modifying the bike.

Does the magnetic sleeve protect the phone from rain?

Yes. The magnetic sleeve wraps around your phone and protects it from water splashes on rides in the rain. It also absorbs some of the CP3's vibrations, which already reduces the risk of damage to the optical image stabilizer. For long stages, the anti-vibration module reinforces this protection by filtering harmful frequencies at the source.

Do you need a tool to mount the mount on the Tracer 9's handlebar?

The Moto with elastic strap installs without tools. The Moto PRO and Moto PRO BOOST are screw-mounted and come with the required key. Installation takes two to three minutes. Once in place, your phone slots into and out of the magnetic sleeve in under two seconds, without removing the handlebar mount.
