i posted a few words on this recently - cannot quickly locate that post but I carefully measured my new seat vs the OE GT seat and there was, from imperfect memory, a gnat's whisker in it.

Thank you for confirming this. I'm a lot happier now.

B.T.W. Sorry to hear you have to sell your GT.  Dread the day that happens to me.

Forgot to say that price quoted has  v.a.tax @ 20% to be added to total.

  @Kenny A., I don't think it would affect the seat height much. I ordered the basic seat that Chromeburners sells. I wasn't sure how to modify the seat through Cromeburners, but I'm real happy with the seat I received.

Thanks for that,that's all I need to know.

Been quoted €351 + shipping. 4 week turnaround.  Happy with that.👍🙂

In the process of ordering my Bagster seat for my GT.  Was going to get Bultex foam in riders seat,but don't know how that affects the height of the seat. Can anybody advise,please ?

Kenny.

THE THEIVING BARSTEWARDS !!!!!!😡😡😡😡

Thanks. 👍

Welcome from another Scot.  Luv my GT. 👍

Took it in to the dealer. A few minutes later - sorted.👍 Even better,it was free.😊

Ok. I'm guessing you painted it in situ? I am also considering the same. Perhaps you could give us an update on how it holds up against the heat from the exhaust.

I painted it before I fitted it. Need to touch up the red that can be seen. Used Yamaha touch-up paint,went for a 150 mile run and the paint was fine.

Kenny.

I no longer have a red ring on my Scorpion end can. Now Phantom Blue.👍

Kenny.

Aha !!

On close inspection,the connector at the harness looked o.k.,but it turns out that it was partially disconnected. Bugger!! This connection is very easily connected/dis connected. A trip to the dealer now.

Thanks all,

Kenny.

Hi Skip,

O2 sensor is connected and installed in pipe. I didn't start the engine with it disconnected. I might pay the dealer a visit tomorrow.

Thanks for reply.

Kenny.

Fitted my Scorpion Serket Taper stainless end can today on my G.T.  Love the sound,but the engine trouble warning light (as described in handbook),is now on permanently. Has anybody who has fitted a Scorpion on their Tracer 900/GT,encountered this problem,and if so, how did you fix it. I suspect it is to do with the O2 sensor,but not sure what to do.

Thanks,

Kenny.

I have been searching for a colour code,and some touch-up paint for my GT. Contacted Japarts in the Netherlands, who contacted Yamaha.

Yamaha got back to them,with this code for Phantom Blue - MDPBM1.

I can confirm that this is the correct code,as I received touch-up paint today.

Available from www.japarts.nl

Cheers,

Kenny.

Any Chinese LED signals bought on Amazon or eBay are a waste of money  Spend the money once and buy quality.

I agree with you. So I have gone and ordered the ones from 12oClockLabs.

Thanks for help.

Kenny.

Hi,

I want to fit LED indicators to my 900 GT,to replace the ugly OEM ones. I would like 'flowing' light style,like Audi's have.

Has anybody sourced and fitted such Indicators,and recommend any? A few cheap ones on Amazon/eBay,but don't know how good they would be. 12oClockLabs have nice ones,but expensive.

Can  anybody help me out?

cheers,  Kenny.

Please do not use any form of hard scraper to remove the tank-top sticker - it's put on with Kryptonite.   On an earlier Tracer I found the best way to remove the sticker was to simply heat it up with a hair-dryer, then scrape away with a thumb-nail, the sticker coming off in small bits.   Tedious work, but while it ruins the thumb-nail (which will re-grow) it avoids ruining the tank, which would not! 

Job done.👍🏻 Pulled decal off slowly while heating with hairdryer. Some adhesive left on tank,but after using goo-gone several times and finishing off with matte paint polish/cleaner,there is no sign of any decal being there and matte paint looks perfect. Very happy with result.🙂 Thanks for all advice.

Yup.  All of them are on top of the paint and come off easily with a little heat and care.

Rob

That's good to know. Wasn't sure if they would come off o.k.  Thanks.

Kenny.

Thanks for that. Will take these these decals off tomorrow. Hairdryer at the ready. lol.

Cheers,

Has anybody un-gooed the decals on the top of the r/h tank panel? Do they come off as easily as the front mudguard/fender one ?
