And definitely get Clegg’s mod. I’m glad I did

So you added padding in addition to what they did?

I have the ‘21 Tracer kit. I had a ride yesterday about 4 hours. It’s definitely an improvement. The install wasn’t bad once I found the link to the I instructions s in this thread. I can definitely recommend this.

Looking forward to trying this out on my ‘21 GT

I am just waiting for Madstad, although I am interested in how good or not the Yamaha touring one is too.

Reading all this if Sargent is the first with a seat for the ‘21 I think I’ll wait for the 2nd manufacturer.

If you need any more assistance with the ‘21 GT maybe I can help.

It’s bad. There is no flat area to sit on. The bottom of the curve is towards the tank. I wish Corbin or Bagster would get a seat for the ‘21

On Reddit green toe has pretty good reviews.

Details on your frame sliders - brand and where to get them would be appreciated. If it’s not too much trouble a pic or two with them installed would be great. Any downside to them, quality, fit, etc? I was thinking of the SW Motec ones, but if theses work as highway pegs that would be great.

I’m using this and like it. Same idea as yours. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08158SCL6/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_E8JN119NGJ1AG6NPA96A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I like those. I wonder how hard the installation would be with the wiring and any canbus issuers?

I had the 50 on a TMax and loved it. I could get my XXL Arai in no problem. Not sure what it will look like on the Tracer, but that’s what I’m planning on getting. I see no part numbers yet on the plate, or ‘21 accessories for the Tracer in the US yet.

I think he meant when you try your remedy, watch the temp gauge to make sure you didn’t create an engine overheat issue

I could be wrong. Maybe when I tried without it I had the seat installed incorrectly. I only compared once, and it was more solid with it installed. ‘What you said sounds more logical. I probably just didn’t have the seat in right when I tried without the cap.

Get it. It keeps the seat from wiggling side to side. It’s a minor thing but I’d ask for it. That piece stays installed whether the seat is set to high or low, unlike that piece in the front that is for low position only.

Okay, I went ahead and made a video. Hopefully this helps 😊

The cap is the rubber piece that is on the left side and it covers where you need to slip your finger in to push the lever to release the rider seat. There is a picture of what they call the cap on page 27 of the manual. It just pulls off.

Oh yeah, forgot about the turn signals. Every little bit helps.

Any tips are appreciated! 😊

I have the new 21 GT. I leave the high beams on in the daytime along with the low beam which is on all the time by default. The lights up above I think Yamaha calls the daytime running lights, and I believe those are on all the time as well. I’m still learning since the bike is pretty new, and I’m not riding it a lot since I am waiting for someone to come out with a non torture seat option. That forward slope and one defined spot the seat forces me into against the gas tank is a real design fail.

I have had my 2021 a little over a week. I have the same issues as I’ve seen in this thread. The main one being the slight slant forward. The foam density is firm, which I like. I have tried shimming the front of the seat up a little. It might have helped a bit. One problem us ‘21 owners might have is replacement availability. I don’t even see ours listed on sites, example Corbin. I’m a Corbin fan and have had many. The Bagster is an unknown to me, but sounds interesting. Maybe save some $.

2nd day with my ‘21 GT. I just came back from my 3rd ride, but first time using the quick shifter. I was very impressed. The sounds it makes with the lightning quick shifts is way cool. I have basically been afraid to use it until I read some posts in this thread that gave me the confidence to get give it a try. I think most of my shifts from this point forward are going to be using the QS.

Thank you h1! 😊
