I'm looking at battery tenders and was wondering which ones are worth getting for the 9 gt?

I picked up my 21 9gt today yippee!! I told myself I wouldn't pick it up if it was raining so what do I do ? pick it up when it was snowing go figure . Anyway after a very comfortable ride home (NOT) I pulled into my garage very cold and a little damp . First impression love the quick shifter! never used one before, the heated grips were nice as needed on the ride home which is something I thought I would never use but there's that old saying neve say never ! I did notice the slight tilt in the seat pushing me forword into the tank though it didn't bother me too much but maybe because I was so focused on getting home with no incident but overall felt petty comfortable considering . A good combo , new bike to get used too, not riding for many years and crappy weather to boot ! hopefully tomorrow's weather will be better so I can get a better feel for the bike .

I pulled the trigger on the 21 tracer 9gt now the fun begins!!!

Will let you know as might use crash bars too not sure ,thanks!

I took another look at the 21 9gt yesterday and will be putting down a deposit tomorrow . as far as must do mods's I plan on getting frame sliders , rad protector . I'll wait on screen and seat mod's until I get a few miles under my belt to see how I feel . looking for suggestions for "must do mods" I've seen people recommend screen protectors for the dash, is it necessary ? Anyways very much looking forword to my journey with the bike on and off the road.

There are a few 22's out there but there near me but there all around 15500-16000 Canadian so about 3500 more plus tax .

Ya I know I'm diving myself nuts ! I think Iv'e decided on the 21 9gt going to look at it again today maybe I can negotiate a few bucks off what there asking . I very much appreciate all the information I've gotten from this forum !!

I may have missed the boat on the 20 gt , bummer ! There is a 21 9tg available but allot more cash 12900 compared to 11000 for the 20 gt and 10000 for the 19 tracer 900 with 500 km so basically new. I decided on making an offer on the 2020 gt but if its sold my options right now are a 19 tracer 900 500 km 21 gt 13200 km I I can afford to get the gt ( 3000) more than the 900 do you guys think its worth it I believe the 9gt is a much better bike I just need to justify the extra cost . If I got the basic 900 I would definitely be getting Either a top box or panniers so that would be anywhere from 500-1500 more i'd be spending anyways . Also was interested about reliability due to the updated engine as I know they bumped up the displacement a bit not sure what else? looking for some real world experience between the 2 , i'm getting so close to pulling the trigger just need a little push over the edge.

I thought the 19 Tracer 900 repo was a no brainer but a 2020 gt just popped up on line for only 1000 more and it has touring srceen, seat concepts seat , back rack but 6200 km on it . looks like this is a no brainer !

Yup the 700 not available in Canada and if it was I think that would be the ticket ! Would like some input on "b" mode on the 19 tracer 900 I'm not an aggressive rider so I can see me leaving it in b most of the time , is it allot tamer than standard mode ?

Sounds good glad your happy with it! The one im looking at is the same gray with red front fender.I'm curios on your hight and wight ? I'm 6'2 195 lbs with a 32" inseam so longer torso with average legs , how do you find the screen and leg room?

Ya I know there's alot more than cruise control on the 21 9 gt vs the 19 tracer but the 9gt is alot more than I wana spend and if I decide I want to upgrade after a year or so im sure I can get most of my money butvI have a feeling I will be very happy with the 900.

Ya on the gt !

Ya I've seen that on line, I'ts not a deal breaker thats for sure . For my relatively short day trips Im sure I won't miss it especially since I never had it before.
