The Yamaha Tracer 900 (FJ-09 in North America) (MT-09 Tracer in Japan, South America, Australia, and New Zealand) is a sport touring motorcycle first offered in 2015. The 3-cylinder crossplane engine comes from the MT-09 (FZ-09 in North America).

The technology of the Tracer 900 comes directly from the MT-09, adding a partial fairing and windscreen, a bigger fuel tank, ABS brakes, handguards, centerstand, a 12-volt power socket, traction control, revised fuel map, and three riding modes. It also gains a dash, which is very similar to the XT1200Z Super Ténéré. The Tracer 900 utilises LEDs for the headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and indicators. The handlebars are significantly higher and wider, and are closer to the rider due to the seat being further forward, and the handlebars being further back than the MT-09, making for a much more upright riding position. The rear subframe is bigger and more robust and incorporates factory supports for lateral cases. The suspension has stiffer springs and more damping and preload than the MT-09.

The bike was launched in 2015 as the 'MT-09 Tracer' in most markets, and as the 'FJ-09' in North America. From 2016, the bike was renamed to 'Tracer 900' in Europe and the UK, along with the introduction of the Tracer 700 which is based on MT-07 (FZ-07 in North America). In Japan, South America, Australia, and New Zealand, it has continued with the original name of 'MT-09 Tracer.'

Starting in 2017, the Tracer 900/FJ-09 gained the three-mode adjustable traction control and new assist-and-slipper clutch unit found on the XSR900 and FZ-09/MT-09 siblings.
