  1. Hi I have just purchased a 2016 tracer 900..haven't ridden it properly yet just picked up, but I noticed that it was taller than I thought (and taller than I had experienced in the shop!). Anyway, it has a custom seat which I've put on the lower setting (but haven't yet adjusted the plastic bracket...and its raining so i'll wait), but if I wanted to adjust the height on it, I would first check the standard seat vs the custom one (additional padding?), and I've looked at lowering links... there are many! But are there other things I can adjust too? I'm 5'7" with a 30 inside leg, so quite short. I have a 2007 CBF1000 which is '795mm' so the 840mm of this is quite a difference, and I'm tiptoe-ing both sides. Are there suspension adjustments I can make to make it shorter before using a lowering link? If not, the Yamaha link is quite expensive and doesn't lower it by much..but others lower by 20mm (and some even more). I've read about the issues with ground clearance, but I dont ride offroad, and dont carry pillion, so I think it'd be fine to lower. I just want to get peoples experiences of doing this, or other things I could look at doing instead/as well as. TIA
