Just took the first ride with a comfort seat and seat mod. raised the front 3/4. Rode 150 miles, much better than stock.

Yes sir, message sent

Thanks for all the information, I just received a comfort seat set from someone on here that had it for sale. received and looked brand new. Looking forward to a test ride. I'm still experimenting on the seat mod. I stacked the washers and liked the outcome. Now I'm seeing what I can come up with for a permanent solution. I just purchased a 2020 900 GT with 1400 miles on it. That is what the comfort seat is going on. I also have my eye on a Corbin that is lightly used. I still have my 2015 FJ09 with about 18K on it. Added Terry's seat, side bags, heated grips, and top case.

Thanks, I need to do a little research and see if there are any in the area.

I know this has been covered a few times, but things change as times go by. I just purchased a 2020 900GT with 1400 miles on it. I was looking for an upgrade to my 2015 FJ09. I updated the seat on the FJ with a Terry custom seat. It was an improvement, but I'm looking for a little more. I'll be using the Tracer as a street cruiser. Often, I ride 300 mile rides for a day ride. I'm 6' and 220 lbs I don't have any experience with the Yamaha comfort seat. Is there much of an inprovement over stock? I have seen a few used ones listed for about $200.00 I looked at the web page for Corbin & Sargent. Both look nice, but you don't really know unless you sit on the seat. They start at about $650.00 Please offer your thoughts, comments and suggestions. Thanks, David

I'm considering the GIVI 47 L top case for my 2020 Tracer 900GT I just purchased with 1400 miles on it. I have not decided if the optional light kit is worth the cost. Any thoughts on why this is a bad Idea? I have selected the aluminum mounting plate. I have a smaller top case on my FJ09, it has saddle bags also. I could use a little more room for solo overnight trips.

Is there much difference between this seat compared to the stock seat? I'm 6' , 220 lbs Cost of your seat?

Hey 356, Noticed you said 21 or up, I'm looking at a 2019 Tracer GT. Current bike is 2015 FJ09, So for the 2019, is it clutchless up only. Also, when riding conservatively like in traffic, I often shift at low RPM,s. I have never rode a bike with quick shift. So I guess I'm trying to ask, when ridding conservatively, can I use the clutch and when I do, I can expect it to shift like my 2015? And would that hurt anything? Thanks David

Hopefully you will continue to get better and have a good recovery

Thanks 2&3, awesome looking bike, I've never had a problem with instability either. I was hard core on the MX track for over five years, back in the 70's. A bike moving around a little bit doesn't bother me. I'm 66 now and usually just cruise on the pavement. Still push my limits riding off road and hit the track from time to time. Photo from last December. Entered two classes, got a second & third. .

Thanks, PhotoAl , a lot of good information to consider. The 2015 FJ does have traction control and ABS. What seat and windscreen are you using?

Thanks 2&3, I do all my own maintenance and would be comfortable trying to install the CC. I'll take a look to check availability. Just trying to get a feel for any other advantages the GT might have.

Thanks for your thoughts, hope you have a good recovery from the COVID, that is one nasty bug. I don't have any complains on the FJ. Just get the itch to upgrade sometimes. Then often have sellers' remorse because what I had to begin with was better. One other thing I did was remove the stock windshield and an using a really short fly shield. Got rid of most of the buffering, but you get full wind from about mid chest up.

Good information, thanks for posting
