  1. Found the receipt for the parts, Lowering link, 1.25". Also had the shorter kick stand installed at the same time. Sorry for the incorrect information, I was off by a quarter of an inch. I'll keep the seat in the higher position, ergonomically it works best for me.
  2. Howdy, I would say it lowered it by 1.5 to 2,0 inches, probably lowered the front of the bike also. My jeans have a 32 inch inseam.
  3. Howdy, ordered the Yamaha lower links to help me feel more secure when at a stop. Dealer installed them yesterday and I'm really pleased with the results. Both of my feet are flat on the ground and I feel much more in control at stops!
  4. Welcome to a great forum! They are great bikes, I have a 22 Tracer 9GT I'm really pleased with it.
  5. Hi, thanks for offer of help me taking photos with my phone. It's a Samsung Galaxy J7 V. It's pretty old. The only time I use it is when I take a ride, in case I fall down and go boom. We usually use my wife's phone if we're together. She's a master of her cell phone. She's tried to help me but I don't use it enough to remember. Thanks, jack
  6. There are sometimes you just need a good ride. Yesterday was that day We live in Sonoma County, just north of San Francisco, for over 30 years. In January we lost our Golden Retriever, Sweet Sweet Emmy Lou. In mid-February we had a pipe burst in the wall in the center of the house. They're almost done with the repairs. Hopefully the next 2 weeks. That's a long to have our home and lives turned upside down. Decided to get on the bike and go to the coast. Headed north to River Road and turned left. River Road runs through acres and acres of vineyards. Various wines are made in this area, reds, white, blush and sparkling. Each winery is unique as is each wine. Farther down River Road, the coastal Redwoods start to show. Magnificent, tall and straight, awe inspiring. There is an incredible small 9 hole golf course on River Road. A golf ball sounds different when it hits a Redwood, I didn't mean for the ball to go left, but it did. River Road goes through some cool but funky little towns like Forestville, Monte Rio and Guerneville. The Russian River weaves in, around and through the area. Lots of beaches, paddle boats, canoes and camping. The road leaves the Redwoods and heads through Duncan's Mill's, it was a mill and railroad town. Still has very cool old steam engine and a couple of railroad cars attached. The temperature drops and a couple miles later you're at the coast and the turn off for Goat Rock. I've been to a couple Memorial Services held there for fallen bikers. After the words are spoken, the flowers are tossed in the ocean. Very special place. The view of the ocean and the rock outcroppings is simply amazing! I never get tired of it. Some beaches start to appear. Some surfing, lots of kits, kids and dogs. The next mile and a half it's hard to keep your eyes on the road. More and more Oyster places are popping up. An old candy store with Salt Water Taffy, kite's and all the candy you loved as a kid's parking lot is full. Left the coast and headed home through the small town of Valley Ford. Temperatures rising, a few more cars. Saw lots of bikes out, everybody waved as we passed each other. Found a new road, Reibley Road, just repaved. There are huge ranches on that road and a small grade school. Spent 2 hours riding. It was the best ride I've had in a long time. My new Tracer 9GT is an incredible bike, I'm very pleased with it. All I have to do is learn how to take pictures with my phone. That thing frustrates the heck out of me.
  7. After hitting 70 years old I knew I needed to find a sub-500 pound bike, purchased a 2022 Tracer 9 GT. I am so pleased with the bike, rides great, plenty of power, always leaves a smile on my face! Good looking too!
  8. https://www.motoquest.com/ Hi, found this the other day, looks good to me. I posted this yesterday and someone reported it as spam. I tried this link several times and it works for me. If there's a problem, please let me know. Thanks, jack
  9. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
  10. Hi, are the threads that attach the mirrors on a 2022 Tracer 9 GT left or right handed? Thanks, jack
  11. Hi, stopped by dealer this morning and spoke to the finance fella about the extended warranty. Told us what is covered and what isn't covered. Said the 4 year warranty starts AFTER the basic warranty runs out. Good at any US Yamaha dealership. Not valid in either Canada or Mexico. Transferable if we sell the bike. Quoted the price, very, very reasonable. Sweetie and I talked about for a couple of hours, called him back and purchased it. We feel comfortable about the purchase. Happy we did it, Thanks for all the help! jack
  12. Hi, can you tell me what YT is? Always looking for good reviews. Thanks for the help, jack.
  13. Sorry, it's 2022 Tracer 9GT. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. jack
  14. Hi, picked up the bike last week. I live in the bay area, Sonoma County. Lots of amazing rides close by, looking forward to viewing them from a new motorcycle. Never had a bike with this many computers, a bit intimidating. Wondering if the Yamaha Extended Warranty is called for. I'm sure they're are not cheap to replace. Not finding much information on any such problems. Has anyone here had or heard of any common computer problems? Thanks for the help, jack
