Send me a PM if you want to come by and check them out in person!

I have a set that I bought off of Fleabay for a FJR. Wider than stock and have a rubber cap. I like them much better than the stock pegs!

It's a private group. Cannot see the post unless you join the group???

Changed the oil, oil filter and flushed and refilled the coolant on my 2020 900GT.

Getting it ready to do a few days on some fantastic Missouri sweepers in early September! (And hopefully eat some outstanding Hercules BBQ in Piedmont, MO!)

Would have been much nicer if it wasn't for the hot temps outside!

Maybe this thread????

Loosen the handlebars, rotate them to where they will clear, tighten the handlebars back up.

No need to get new bolts, IMO.

Then go ride!

How is it to install the Seat Concepts foam and cover onto the existing pan?

Any pictures of the seat on the bike?

Only took about an hour total. Rode for about 180 miles on it last week and it still feels a little firm for me. I'm hopeful that it will "break-in" and be fine. Make sure you have a pneumatic staple gun. I used a Harbor Freight one and it did fine.

I have a 32" inseam and in the lower position it works great!

More pictures added. Somebody needs this bike!

Installed the Seat Concepts kit on my 2020 Tracer 900GT. Only got in about 15 miles after the install, but my initial impression is that it is a vast improvement over the stock seat! Forward lean is all but gone and in the low position I can still flat-foot the bike. More extensive testing will be required this week!

I just ordered a set of Shinko Verge X2 for my bike to try. I know they will not be comparable to the major brands as far as mileage, but I do my own tire changes, and for $262 for the set I figured why not???

I run Shinkos' on my vintage bike just because I like new, fresh rubber, as I only ride it about 4K miles per year, and the Shinkos' last that long, giving me new tires every season.

I will be doing some aggressive "following" in about 3 weeks in southern Indiana, and we shall see how they perform on a Tracer.

Ok, the Shinko update is in! I got 8,100miles out of this set of Shinko's. Granted I do not "carve canyons", and about 75% of those miles were highway miles, but I think I got my moneys worth.

Looks like mine is priced to sell! A fly and ride should be in your future!

2020 Tracer 900GT for sale - $9,500 - Bikes for sale - FJ09 Tracer 900 Forum

Mounted the tires and installed new sprockets and chain today! 

Dang it! I just finished putting new tires on my Tracer about 30 minutes ago. If I had only known............

What part of Kentucky? There are a few of us from the Bluegrass State on here.

Weekend bump!

2020 Tracer 900GT with 15,411 miles for sale. Located in Lexington, KY. 

Has a transferrable YES warranty good until 11/22/2025.

Has the following add-ons:

Front fender extender, radiator guard, skid plate, mirror extensions, bar risers, FJR style pegs, Cal-sci medium touring windshield, 90 degree metal valve stems, Fiamm freeway blaster horn and the seat slope mod.

Includes a new set of Continental Motion tires, new o-ring chain and new sprockets, a Seat Concepts cover kit, adapter cord and OBDII scanner, and all original OEM parts including windshield.

Spark plugs and air filter were replaced at 12k miles along with a throttle body sync. Always garage kept and always serviced with genuine Yamaha parts and Yamaha synthetic oil. Has never been on a track. Has a small scuff on the left saddlebag from the previous owner. Everything works as expected (cruise, heated grips, quickshifter, etc.)GPS, mount and tail bag are not included in the sale.

That's the way I do it also. The Nelson Rigg tail bag is a nice piece of equipment! But since I ride a lot of different bikes (5), I have purchased extra straps so I can easily move it from one bike to another. I can change it from one bike to another in less than a minute.

Changed out the OEM "scooter" horn for something that gets their attention!

Fiamm #72112 Freeway Blaster low note horn from Amazon, for less than $9, its A LOT LOUDER!

It's a great scenic ride, IMO. Lots of interesting stops and views.

Just imagine how much fun you could have if the speed limit was higher! The northern end has lots of twisties but the speed limit takes away a lot of the fun!  Cruise control is a must have!

What the heck are "disc bobbins"?!

Inquiring Yanks want to know!

They are the round "disc" that hold the outer brake disc to the inner hub, so they "float", if that makes sense.

I've never done the ones on the Tracer, but I had a Triumph Trophy that had to have them cleaned every 4,000 miles or so to reduce brake "surging". 

I used an ezy-out in a cordless drill to do mine. Insert the ezy-out in the bobbin, spray generously with brake cleaner while spinning it with the drill. You'll be amazed at the "gunk" that comes out of them! Make sure to cover as much of the wheel as possible to lessen the clean-up time.

Just my .02!

Anyone installed a self-cancelling turn signal unit from ST2?

How does it work? Are you happy with it?

I believe you're over-thinking this!

Really,..........how much is your sprocket off-center???

I'll never use a dial indicator to adjust my chain! The old way has been working just fine for a long time, for a multitude of bikes and bikers.

Just my .02!

Fore, for........no.....it's four!
