  1. Ever consider a FuseBlock? Makes easy work of connecting to battery... FuzeBlock
  2. This may help with the CP3? jump ahead to the 2 minute mark.... CP3 spark plug service
  3. Again prefer 40degs+ and dry here. Got out yesterday for a couple of hours, 43degs F. With my heated vest, seat and grips, and Sedici Adventure jacket and pants over Klim boots its really comfortable.
  4. Caltric AGM Battery for Yamaha Tracer 900 GT / Niken GT 2019-2020 / 12V 8.6Ah Only US$36.35 with free shipping on eBay and Amazon. Any reason to avoid this one?

  6. Good news. However, you guys are killing me with your acronyms (AFAIK / CTTO) IYKWIMAITYD 😁
  7. I noticed the SHAD SH36 side cases were in short supply. I guess they are making room for the new SHAD SH38X side cases due out in April. I have the SH58X top case and love its expanding feature. Would like to add the SH38X side cases but the initial cost is outrageous to start. Luckily they work with the 3P mounting system used for the (SH23?), SH35 and SH36 side cases, so they may be an option down the road. They also work with the 4P mounting system for off-roading. The SH38X side cases are approx 50W x 39H x 27-34mm Deep, whereas the SH36 are approx 50 x 38 x 33 mm. See videos at bottom of link page... Shad 38X Expandable Side Cases SHAD SH58X Top Case
  8. It seems a lot of companies are happy to hold your money for as long as they can, and often don't let you know parts are out of stock till you contact them. I've been through the same scenario a few times. It is really frustrating.
  9. Yours is saying not available. https://www.amazon.com/Topteng-Motorcycle-Replacement-Electrical-2015-2017/dp/B09DPJ1ZR9
  10. If you are in no hurry and can wait for the right buyer you should do OK. I buy new cars with the intent to keep them for 10+ years and 200,000 miles. Not so much with motorcycles. Every other week I see a different bike I'd like to have, first world problem I know.
  11. I love the Star wheels....
  12. Hi Dommy, welcome to the Niken Forum, I can only comment on the 2019. I love it and think I will keep it forever. Maybe Niken Lee will chime in, he has both. See page 6 in the following thread...
  13. Have you tried mirror extenders? https://www.ebay.com/itm/172368046011
  14. A good locksmith should have what you need. I may have some but am on the road at the moment. What numbers do you need?
  15. So the seats are compatible between the older and newest niken, what else did you move over? We are still awaiting your 2023 review. 🙂
  16. Got out for a 30 minute ride this evening on the Top Sellerie heated seat. It was 38 deg F and between the heated seat, heated grips and my heated vest it was wonderful. I'm very happy with the seat. Even though it is the lowered version and it was a short ride on some twistys and and a few miles on the highway it felt quite comfortable. One time I sat up on the back of the driver section to stretch my legs just to see how it would feel on a long ride. The heater switch on the seat is very conveniently located, and after 20 minutes I had to switch to the lower setting. The stock seat on the GT is very comfortable and I purchased this seat due to my short inseam and wanting to be another 1/2 closer to the ground. So while it is not a huge difference in comfort I do like how it hugs you and makes the seating position feel more sporty. Of course it looks amazing too. Highly recommended.
  17. Maybe add a heating pad while you are at it? Click and scroll down... https://saddlemen.com/index.php?category_id=0&search=heater&submit_search=&route=product%2Fsearch
  18. Recieved a Top Sellerie Deluxe Grand Comfort Heated Seat for my Niken GT. Excellent workmanship, looks so much better than stock. Cost to USA from France was about $535 USD, thats about 492euros (Eu367 for seat +Eu125 for shipping) after a 10% discount. On top of this you have to send in your stock seat as they work from it's base. I didn't want to part with my Niken GT seat, so I picked up a new sport seat online for about $125 which I shipped to TopSellerie. So in total the cost for me was around $725USD. They only request the stock seat base and foam, so I removed the cover from the stock seat for future use if needed. There are two wires (red and black) for the heated pad. A note included suggests not connecting them directly to the battery but to add a relay (10A fuse). I think the relay/inline fuse should be included from the factory. I use a Fuzeblock so not really an issue for me. I won't get to ride with it till the snow clears here in NE Pennsylvania, but so far my observation from sitting on it in the garage is that it feels good. However since it has a bucket type design you get one position. I liked to sit back on the GT stock seat for riding and slide forward for stops so I could reach the ground with my short inseam. You sit into the Top Sellerie seat so there is no sliding back. The passenger seat is flatter in design which I'm guessing would offer more comfort back there. I really like how the front of the seat hugs the gas tank, however the front underside leaves a little gap which I'm hoping will close in after a few miles of me sitting on. When ordering I clicked on a red picture of the Niken seat on the Top Sellerie website and added a note to say I wanted the same in blue. They emailed me back and forth about a dozen times to clarify the exact shade of blue I wanted, and the surface finish on the different panels of the seat. They made sure there was no doubt about what I was getting before the sale was finalized, as they sent color codes and pictures of the expected end product. There is a seat build out option on the website that I had overlooked so I do appreciate the excellent customer service there offered in this regard. I will update this post when I get a ride in and test the heat option. https://www.topsellerie.com/en-mv/deluxe-seat-SGC5734-yamaha-niken-gt_1298.html
  19. Did you see on the website they offer free screens to those who bring in a motorcycle model they don't have yet. Maybe you could ride down there? 😁
  20. Complete the look, I vote for the red panels on the panniers and hand guards. https://www.colorrite.com/product/yamaha-redline-4156.cfm
