I've got over 4k miles on it... I've adjusted it as well as it could be with the stock levers. If I didn't have options, I could live with it. It would just take a couple stop and starts to adjust back to where it engages. When I say its my main gripe, its because there isn't really anything else I can complain about the bike. Its been fantastic so far.

My main gripe with the bike is how far out the clutch has to be released before you start to get any friction, let alone full clutch engagement. After riding my SV650 I find that I am overrevving the Tracer, anticipating an earlier engagement. It takes a few stop and starts to get reacquainted with it. Finding a decent set of replacement levers hasn't exactly been easy. After searching for in-stock levers and/or levers that were actually a fitment for the 2021 Tracer, I decided to purchase the Puig Levers 3.0. The downside, they aren't making the correct clutch fixation block 21113N until October (according to the customer service representative that I spoke with). However, if you can live without the handguards for a little while, the clutch fixation block 8873N does work (the handguard brackets interfere and don't allow the clutch to return completely if you try to mount them back up with this block). So I will run the bike without them until the correct part is released and then replace it and put the handguards back on. Meanwhile, I have the clutch lever installed and the selector two clicks away from the closest setting. While this doesn't actually change the fact that the engagement is still at the end of the travel, it does make it feel better since the lever travel is shorter overall.

Corbin's reply (just received) "I showed my team and my supervisor. The washers underneath the latch pin on a brand new seat is normal. I personally had to do this on my bike. Once the seat breaks in, you will actually want to take the washers off and it will install like normal. It is perfectly normal for our seat to be touching some parts of the plastic or fairings. If you do see some out of the normal wear and tear on the Vinyl or Leather, let us know so we can look into it. But pressure on the plastics is perfectly fine." Again, not sure if I really agree with the plastics comment. The latch pin I can live with. Just putting this out there for anybody else that comes across this thread and is considering a Corbin saddle for their Tracer 9 GT.

I am glad I found this thread... received mine a little over a week ago and have been trying to work through the fitment issues. I also had to add two washers under the latch plate to get the seat to lock in place. The other issue I am having is an interference in the fit at the front of the seat. When seated, it bends/tweaks the plastics around it. It pulls the black plastic tank protection piece backwards away from the tank. Its an annoyingly large gap. I've also noticed that it shifts the silver side panels downward when I am seated. Corbin's initial reply was that the plastic bodywork shift is considered normal... I disagree. I've sent photos and such to them and am now awaiting their determination.
