I found two options of Frame Sliders for my 2021 Tracer.
I just ordered a set of the Woodcraft Sliders and will post a picture when installed.
Does the OES sliders for the mt fit 2021 tracer 9

A video on YouTube, the guy put the Yamaha lowering links and he had not problem with kickstand or center stand. An earlier post said it made it difficult, video shows no Problem. Clarification?

I got the throttle body replaced. Time will tell. I rode 200 miles yesterday and it was fine. The problem hasn’t happened often in the past so it may be hundreds of miles before I truly know if it is fixed. Yamaha customer service has not been very good. You buy a $15000 motorcycle and it strands you on day two, it seems they would at least give me lip service apologies. They could care less. They have given some extension on the warranty but beyond that, they really don’t care. I have been told Yamaha warranty and customer service was good. My experience with Yamaha headquarters tells me different. The local Yamaha dealer was great.

I had the same problem with the stock windscreen on my 2019 Tracer 900 GT. Replaced it with a genuine Yamaha OEM touring windscreen (picture attached). Big difference, still some slight buffeting but no where near the original. I'm 170 cms (5ft. 7 1/2) tall. Works well for me but height may have a bearing on what works for you. I have it at the highest setting.
How much taller is the touring versus the original? Thanks

Yamaha said to check wiring and fuses. If they are okay, they will replace throttle bodies, if and when they get the parts.
Wiring and fuses checked out. They are ordering a throttle body but no ship date. They said there has been a problem with a valve in the throttle body.

I have a 21 Tracer, I have now experienced the issue twice. Second day I owned it and now at 1000 miles. It seems to happen when slowing down in a higher gear. I was in 4th gear and lost the throttle. I roll to the road side with engine light on. I check the bike over and it starts without problem and returns to normal function. Yamaha shop has hooked it up to machine and get three error codes. One related to throttle, one to idle and one to kickstand error. They talked to Yamaha corp the first time and Yamaha said they hadn’t heard of that error. This second time headquarters was closed so they are calling on Tuesday. Looks like throttle body replacement is the fix?

Two days ago I'm out for a ride on my Tracer 9 GT. All of a sudden the throttle just stopped responding and the engine light comes on. I drifted to the side of the road and immediately checked the oil. No problem there. I started the bike but the check engine light was still on. I was able to ride about 100 yards and once again no throttle response. It was a Monday so I was unable to reach the dealer, they were closed. Luckily I was right by an old used car lot/garage who let me push the bike into their work bay until I could get it towed to the dealer the next day. They came and picked her up now I'm waiting to hear what is wrong. It should be noted that the week before they had the bike for its first service. She has less than 2k miles on her. I'm fairly certain the problem lies with all the electronics associated with the bike. Anybody else experience similar issues?
Update, got the bike back after almost 2 weeks. They found a total of 3 error codes, P0638 (TPS related) 243 (ISC valve)and 245 (engine stall). The following is a quote from the dealer, "tightened female blade connection for the SCU fuse and inspected all other fuses. Tested throttle servo motor, tested wire harness between ECU and servo motor. Checked all associated connectors by unplugging and then making sure they were properly seated once plugged back in."
The Yamaha Tech line says this could be an "anomaly" associated with the throttle position and use of the quick shifter and is unlikely to occur again.
So there you have it, fingers crossed.
Update 2,
Well she's headed back to the dealer again for the same issue, a dead throttle. I picked her up last Friday and she failed me once again on Tuesday. I'm pretty disappointed in Yamaha right now. I no longer trust this bike and will looking for a new one before it gets me hurt.
The dealer has been in contact with Yamaha. The plan is to replace the throttle bodies once they can obtain the parts. I will be getting loaner from the dealer once again.
01/10/2022 - Update 3,
Still no bike since mid-August 2021. The parts were supposed to be here last week but were delayed due to weather. I'm hoping to have the bike back by next week. My dealer, Diamond Motor Sports in Dover Delaware has been great. Yamaha's customer service has simply sucked. Stay turned!
Did you get the problem fixed?

Thanks for the reply. My concern is not about the hardness / softness or even the width, but in the fore-aft slope of the seat which causes the rider to "roll forward" into the tank, causing discomfort in other parts of the lower region.
A solution was created by another member on this forum, and this works well, all things considered. However, from my inspection on the showroom floor it seems that the 21+ Tracer 9 GT has even more curvature to the seat pan which exacerbates this "rolling forward" tendency. Your comment on the comfort seat is noted and I may have to get one of those since it seems flatter, although from what I have read it also makes the seat a little taller and I have a 30" inseam and am 5'-8".
Great list of test ride impressions, by the way. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I have heard many negatives about the seat. I bought the 21 and the seat definitely had a break in period of about 500 miles and has softened. Also, I think riders with bigger rears may find it more uncomfortable. It seems to have a small butt area.

eBay has them from China for $159. Are there any videos on the install? I found one in Japanese but it doesn’t look correct. The guy took off parts that can’t be necessary. The part requires three bolts but they won’t go in because of obstruction. Poor engineering in my opinion. With a half inch adjustment, it could be a 5 minute install.

Thanks for the post. I’m not sure either fits the 21. The part numbers are different.

Alternatively, does part number B1J‑F48D0‑V0‑00 fit the 2021? I'm willing to part with the one I bought just a couple of months ago. I installed it and them removed it a few days later. I decided I don't want to use the Yamaha top case. I'll sell it for $200 (msrp) plus actual cost of shipping from Atlanta, GA

I can’t find a luggage rack for Yamaha top case. Everything is out of stock. Anyone know where I can find one?

Here is a clearer pictures as that day was taken during night, after installation. yet to try it out, tmw weekend will go for ride and have my wife to tag along and get feedback. basically can get any of backseat aftermarket, as long as the holes fit. asto mine, the screw diameter is a bit large, hence i did a little bit of filing the bracket hole larger to fit in the screw.
Please send link to this backrests?

can you send the link to the backrest? It looks good and appears to match holes perfectly.
thanks
