{Tracer} Sargent seat update
flyfifer replied to 3sum's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
What a catalogue of vague admission that they are incompetent. -
So there you go, 500mamps to spare 😁

LED lights draw low current, the 2amp fused supply should be fine ----the spec for any lights should however tell you what the load is. Don't be surprised if it is milliamps.

Camping with 22litre panniers ?
flyfifer replied to flyfifer's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
The problem with a hammock, particularly in Scotland, is finding two trees at the appropriate place, having nice sunny weather and keeping out the MIDGIES !! -
Here is some food for thought if you are a solo camper -- View topic - 1-man tent and sleeping bag recommendations I'm going to...

We await your review with great anticipation 😁.

If a Moderator is following this thread what's the Rules on linking a thread on a communication to s Vendor ??

The side plates are now fully finished off with a coat of Hammerite and the pics show the pair as they would be mounted on the bike with the function of the cross rod obvious. The reason for making the side plates to carry 30litre soft panniers, a recent short trip.

So is the summary so far :- the seat still does not fit flat enough. the fit of the seat to the bike is completely unsatisfactory. if fiddled with to fit, the indications are that it is comfortable. on the Yamaha high setting the seat to floor height is lower than standard. Fair ?
-
RC, Also a positive review ref comfort. The plot thickens !!
-
Whistler, That's the nearest thing to a glowing endorsement I have ever read for any product. Great to hear you think it is a good buy. Enjoy.
-
RC certainty used logic to overcome the issues he found when installing the seat ! It is however ludicrous that those "adaptations" had to be made to a seat supplied by a well established seat producer. Furthermore the High Low options are no longer available with those changes. Ridiculous. RC ---- is it more comfortable !!??

Who sent the original seat to Sargent ?

I have copied this across from the FJ seat thread and updated it. johnmark101 cannot get his new Sargent pillion seat to fit, Tracer 900GT. johnmark101 is not happy with the Sargent rider's seat fit, Tracer 900GT. 3sum thought the Sargent rider's seat fit was fine, Tracer 900 GT. 3sum persevered with the Sargent pillion seat and is able to fit it, Tracer 900GT. Sargent produced their own Pan for the bike identified as an FJ. stgolfer has a Sargent seat (the first off) and the seat still slopes, Tracer 900 not GT. R.C. has a seat on order. Quaxum posted pics showing a SARGENT, Tracer 900 (including GT) seat PAN and a SARGENT FJ seat pan and they are the , same moulding. Whistler has received his Sargent seat and commented about difficult pillion seat fit, poor rider seat fit in Low position but "better" in the High position. Whistler posted pics which Def show the Sargent has a flatter rider seat. Quote from Whistler -" in my opinion only, is made for the High position. The nose is also tapered on the sides, allowing my feet to easily touch the ground, even though the seat's in the High setting". Quaxum posted pics showing a 900GT with what he believes is a Sargent FJ09 seat fitted. This reaffirms that the seat Pans are interchangeable. Posters opinion the fit looks better than the new Sargent seat.

2019 Tracer 900 GT Early impressions
flyfifer replied to OLD DVB's topic in Tracer 900 GT Discussions
Have you tried switching on the heated grips ??😕 -
I looked at putting my little compressor in there but I thought it impinged on the brake light too much. It is definitely a tempting space particularly if a cheap (bicycle?) EBay bag could be found that fits it. The Touratech offering is far tooooo expensive, even if it does fit nicely !

whittdr, I hope you find the forum as useful as I have. Hello from another Scot.

I am a bit surprised to see Comfort and Tracer 900GT in the same sentence ------ without the words Lack Of !! -
{Tracer} Sargent seat update
flyfifer replied to 3sum's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
johnmark101, I did not think that Sargent sold the Rider seat on its own ?? -
and to make sure Bagster info from the "other place" gets picked up on the GT section.

{Tracer} Sargent seat update
flyfifer replied to 3sum's topic in FJ-09 Tracer 900 General Discussions
So is this a fair summary ?? johnmark101 cannot get his new Sargent pillion seat to fit, Tracer 900GT. johnmark101 is not happy with the Sargent rider's seat fit, Tracer 900GT. 3sum thought the Sargent rider's seat fit was fine, Tracer 900 GT. 3sum persevered with the Sargent pillion seat and is able to fit it, Tracer 900GT. Sargent produced their own Pan for the bike identified as an FJ. stgolfer has a Sargent seat (the first off) and the seat still slopes, Tracer 900 not GT. R.C. has a seat on order. Quaxum posted pics showing a SARGENT, Tracer 900 (including GT) seat PAN and a SARGENT FJ seat pan and they are the same moulding. Ref this last point I was sure I read on here they were definitely not the same ?? Anybody able to identify that source ? Does anybody else have a Sargent seat enroute ?
