I know it's too late for you but Race Tech sells preload washers that are about 2.5 mm thick to use to add to the spacer length without cutting new ones.  So 3 will add 7.5 mm for example.  You may find equivalent washers at a hardware store though.

Hi, curious if you're referring to the dampening rod bolt copper washers listed online?

I would like to try one but there are none to be found anywhere and who knows when they will be I stock.  

Is it a supply issue due to covid?

Just so you all know the new politically correct title for gas station attends  is petroleum transfer engineer. I spent most of my high school years being one🙂

LOL...I like the firm seat...I had a bagster and it came off after 10 mins......WAY too soft, hehe

I looked at those briefly and softer steered me away for sure. Ever try a Yamaha comfort seat?

Yeah.....I did the seat slope mod and it helps but I rode 230 miles yesterday and I about halfway through my arse was on fire.  I mean I could live it but I would like to find a good option.  I am a Sargent fan but the seat for this bike seems hit or miss......

I had a Sargent seat on my fz6 back in the day, that thing was as hard as a brick up the longer you sat the more my ass appreciated the firmness 😂

Enjoy and welcome!  Its a great bike and it does everything well!  I would plan on figuring out a seat option if planning long rides, lol.

I’ve heard bad things ab the heat but I didn’t think it was that bad. Rode 200 miles yesterday and felt some hot spots but I honestly think doing the spacer trick that flattens the seat out will go a long way.

I bought a well equipped 15 for $5500 about 6 weeks ago off of a private seller.  I think I found a good deal.  ( It did need new rubber )

I see them for around $6K regularly but these are private sell prices.  Personally, I like to size up the previous owner and get the maintenance history.  It's worth the extra hassle to me.  

I’ve never described it that way but much is to be said ab sizing up the previous owner and their habits. Good point!

I’d pass bud, that’s way over priced. I see lots of deals out west. Check out CycleTrader.

Hi folks, I just picked up my 2019 Tracer GT yday. I sold my Kawasaki Z900 in search of a more comfy ride for longer trips. This is my 5th bike and my first triple! I’m located near Charlotte NC.

I didn’t know they were still making Shoguns haha 

Years ago I laid down my bike in a 45 mph curve and my Shoguns saved the bike!

I have something similar  from Aliexpress, little bit better looking. Nice thing is they double as hwy pegs (kind of)....

I didn’t know they were still making Shoguns haha 

I rode 200 miles today in a non summer style jacket in SC and NC today and ab died 😂 

Hi everyone, just bought a 2019 GT today, over 100 miles into my trip hone I kept seeing the white light randomly blinking, curious what it means as my manual is in my friends vehicle atm.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of something less than mesh summer jackets. 

Curious if anyone is doing anything different recently regarding passenger backrests?? 

Has anyone tried a set of Metzeler M9rr's on their Tracer?

Dunlop roadsmart 3 and Bridgestone T31, the latter being especially cost effective with their rebate

Keeping track of those rebates is crucial for a good price!

S1000XR is so sexy but that price tag is steep for me!

Just bought an HJC RPHA 70 ST.  Have not had a chance to ride with it yet.

They seem like one of the best "bangs for your buck". Curious how it pans out.

Shoei RF-1200

Anyone have experience with transferring the Y.E.S. warranty? Curious what the process is.

Love the lines of that bike, could so without the navy blue on Yam blue though

They should make this bike with the triple!!

Totally agree, use the new Tracer 9 engine and race tune it!
