still some on/off throttle jerkiness, but the surging/unevenness when at very low input (parking lot maneuvering speeds) is pretty much gone. 

man, all really a matter of perspective and experience huh? I came from a GSXR and by comparison my Tracer is BUTTER smooth in low rpms. 

It might be my posture, it might be my sensitive nethers, maybe its a crappy expensive gel seat pad, but until I can buy a cushy new custom saddle, how do I protect my not quite ass but not yet balls from being worn raw in the 100+ mi range? 

@Samaha did those plug right in to the stock connector?

Broke it in by splattering bugs all over it for aprox 450 mi

I just Plasti-dipped the four red body panels on my 2020 GT. Easy to do and easy to undo.

I'll probably paint it black when the Plasti-dip doesn't look as good.

Sexy. I'm torn on spraying my side panels or just "leaning in" to the red/orange color. Is plastidipping just a matter of clean, edge off, and spray with a good several coats? 

Whats the tank pad, seat, sliders?

Did you do it or did you skip the TBS?

I called around to other dealers and got much more reasonable rates $200-300 but ran into the same wait time issues. I'm definitely changing my oil and filter because I crossed 600 this weekend. Looking at the manual the only other things I can't do myself is synch the throttle bodies, and I think check/adjust the valves clearance. And, I'd bet money even the dealer quoting me $500 wouldn't do that anyway unless given a reason like an error code or if I said it was running rough. 

So, plan is oil and thorough inspect on my own, talk to a 3rd party mech that I trust. Possibly take to dealer that's booking (only) two weeks out or said 3rd party mech to check throttle synch and valves.

Never understood the whole break in thing, the engine has in fact already been run to redline at the factory on a dyno. Just ride it normally for about 600 miles and do an early oil/filter change, makes no sense to baby the engine for no good reason. 

They very good reason to not run your engine above 5600rpms for a prolonged period of time is because the owner manual said to and if you just spent that much dough on a brand new bike it's prudent to listen. 

I just got quoted $500 from the dealer where I bought my new 2020 Tracer 900 GT 🤯
