here's a pic of the new corbin seat...
yeah! that's my bike! haha. I think the seat looks more level than the stock seat. I haven't had a chance to sit on my bike with this seat yet, and won't get to until late Jan or Feb. But there is a photo on the Corbin website that shows a "curtain" where you can move a bar across and it changes the left being stock to the right being Corbin. From this picture of the back half of the bike, it looks like it levels out earlier, and this side shot angle makes the seat seem pretty level and parallel to the floor at the "nose" of the seat, instead of being crammed up against the tank

You should take a picture of them shining the ground in the dark with it off and on for comparison. I do a lot of night riding, and want something that looks sleek and not so out of place or bulky, and this looks pretty good!Today I installed some Denali Daytime Running Lights I ordered from Twisted Throttle during their Black Friday sale. I dont ride at night so I only use these to be seen better in daylight.
I attached them to the radiator guard with offset spacers.
You have the option of wiring them 50% or 100% intensity or if you want to vary the intensity you can install an inline switch, I chose to wire them in at 100% intensity. They are BRIGHT!!
They are very low profile and inconspicuous...

Just purchased the ECU flash and Akrapovic Titanium exhaust combo with a Sprint high performance air filter for my GT from Vcyclenut.com. Already cant wait for the Spring!
-
I went for a 3 hour slower paced ride 2 up, on the GT and it was better than other bikes I've ridden, but about 2 hours in, you started to feel that seat pains. Hopefully the Corbin seat will be even better.

Lots of truth. Did you know you can change what you have on the display though? I liked seeing the engine temp, but hated that as well (that the air temp showed twice. seemed like a waste of space). So I scrolled through the menu and changed so I have trip 1 showing with my engine temp now. Usually I keep it on that display but sometimes check out my fuel consumption/mpg average just to see how im doing.My Niggles:
[ul type=disc][*]The heated grips functions should be on a button not in the menu. You rarely change the tractions or engine modes so that could have been in the menu.[*]Menu scroll should be on a trigger on the left bar[*]Why when the air temp is permanently on the screen is there a funtion to addit to another screen.[*]No Fuel range[*]No fore thought about sat nav installation. There should be a bracket in your eye line.[*]Key placement.[*]Seat is hard[*]Screen is shocking.[*]In this technological age let us disply our phones on the dash like the new KTM / BMW's can[/ul]
To counter some of the above I bought a Puig screen, a screen bracket for nav and an air seat.
I did look at the new versys 1000 at the NEC on sunday and it is a lovely bike. Love the side lights built in and electronic suspension.
What do you mean no fuel range? I was getting about 220 miles if I pushed it that far. I typically fill up around 180-200 tho. Much better than my buddy with the fz 09, and another buddy with an xrs900 who *have to fill up around 120-150

Like gv550 said: cruise control, heated grips, panniers, longer swingarm, adjustable windsceen. Also the windscreen shape, the hand guards, the handle bars are more narrow, the passenger foot pegs are lower and the passenger grab rails are different. The quickshifter, and the ECU/fuel mapping is also a little different, I believe. The front and rear suspension (and rear suspension is easier to adjust). The TFT dash, and the seats have all changedSo what's the difference between a FJ-09 and a Tracer GT ?
-
They made it sound like they were going to turn it from the two seats- a "rider seat" and a "passenger seat" (like stock), and merge it into one seat (Turn the key and the whole seat compartment comes up). I am not sure how it will go for the adjustable function on the seat, either. Here is the seat of the previous model seat style. It has heated in the front and back but the website says that it is not height adjustable (for the previous model)Good. I am a Corbin fan. I've had two Corbin seats I liked and one I didn't. The only one I didn't like was for a BMW GS where they used one seat pan for both the rider and passenger and moved the rider position further back, which I didn't like. I hope they make just a rider seat for the Tracer! Or at least, make a rider and passenger separate seats.
"Our one piece seat mounts to your bike in place of the two piece OEM seat and integrates with the Yamaha key lock system" from their website http://corbin.com/yamaha/yfj09r.shtml

Hey everyone! I took my bike to California so they can start making Corbin seats for the GT. I think they should be ready before the holidays
I got it there Saturday (a week ago) and they say it typically takes 3-4 weeks. They are closed the week of Thanksgiving, so I would think they could be ready by 12/1ish! But maybe longer... I wont be back to pick it up till January
Hopefully that just means they will make more goodies for it since they will have it longer!

I got a Tach protector, tail tidy, FJR foot pegs, radiator guard, and the front fender extender for the first few that were added. just ordered axle protection and battling between engine guards. Front fender extender extends the front wheel cover to fling less dirt/rocks/water at the radiator/engine. I am also going to flash and get an exhaust soon from Vcyclenut.com
The flash does:
Fuel Changes to match your modifications
Ignition timing for better throttle response and more power
Customizing all 3 throttle modes
Disabling the speed limiter
Disabling the AIS
Disabling injector decal cut
Option to start in A mode
Disable o2 sensor or closed loop fueling
lower fan temp activation
Decrease engine braking on initial roll off
Enabling a quick shifter (up shift only)

I did get an Evotech rad guard already, and I plan on taking off the hand guards in the spring and trying that out when it warms up. so I guess I may like it and get some normal bar ends down the line. I am thinking of getting rear TST Womet-Tech spool/sliders ($19 USD) and maybe their $40 front sliders. still looking around though. I am tempted to get the old model givi crash bars, but my new LED front signals are not rubber mounted so I worry it will rub that or not fit properly. I have been told by someone else either on here or facebook that it should fit snugly, but im worried about taking that leap

Hey what types of axle or handle bar-end sliders are you using? Any work with the hand guards on for a GT? Has anyone seen what the GIVI TN2139 engine bars look like yet? All the pictures say not available where ever I have seen them.
-
What bracket did you use for the light bar under the headlights and what lights do you have at the bottom of your forks?Ice cream break under the pines on a hot day (for me, not the GT).
-
I got one off Ebay and the integrated tail light is sweet so I can still use my side bags if I want to, but I normally ride with them off. I think this one was meant for a EU license plate, because it had additional brackets that came with it and I did not like them so I just punched new holes in my US plate and covered the old holes with the registration stickers. Also recently painted my silver panels flat black.What tidy Tail did you use ?

What bracket/how did you mount the light bar to the forks like that? I know there is a seller on Ebay that sells a kit, but the light itself is like $8.00 and the kit is like $60.00The lights are 60w Ebay LEDs and wired through the High Beam Via a relay, Powered from Battery and 10amp fuse. The mount bar is custom made 1x1/4 aluminium bar with 1' round bar welded on the ends to take the light clamps. Bar is bolted to the lower screen mounts.
ADMIN, feel free to move to whatever folder is relevent

I like it but you might need something like this as well. I wish I had a running light for my front blinkers. You'll have to add some pictures of how it looks when it is installed!Anybody tried these? I ordered it, I have motodynamic flushmount installed and it’s way far from bright. I like that it’s white as running light and switch amber when blinking. It says it fits mt-09, will it fit a tracer? All other turn signals are good for both but this one only write about mt-09

I got some work done yesterday on the bike! I painted panels on my GT from silver to flat black, powder coated the passenger grab-rails to Blurple, added tank pad decals and changed Front to LED blinkers. I've also been playing around with suspension settings
-
There is a Tracer GT section that can be found on the home page. maybe create a thread there or just post it here?
-
What wind screen is this? Do you have a link? Im thinking of getting a "sport screen" and a "touring screen" and may have found the SPORT!

I used a CustomLED integrated tail light with the flasher relay for the previous years FJ-09 (it fits perfect and plug and play) with the flasher relay. I got an ebay tail tidy, and am still waiting for the front blinkers from ebay. (should arrive on Thursday!)

Thanks! I got the Evotech Performance guard and painted on the Nightwing Logo from the DC comics

Already at 1200 miles, and have done a few mods: tail tidy, integrated tail light, new foot pegs, rim reflectors, radiator guard, front fender extender, dash protector. Still on order are LED front signals
Items that fit the Tracer GT from the older model tracers.

Things I've confirmed are the same and I've modified: Foot pegs, radiator guard, tail light, tail tidy, front fender extender, exhaust, blinker fittings, Air filter, axle sliders, kickstand. The R1 tach protector skin is the same as the Tracer GT.
Confirmed as different for mods: windscreen, headlights, seat
