Clegg78 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) If you havent been tracking the big thread over in the Tracer channel about fixing the weird forward slope of all the '18-20 Tracers - a slope issue that applies to the FJ-09 as well! I wanted to bring attention to it here, as I figure a lot of FJ riders likely don't look at the Tracer 900 channel. The Instructions and parts for the mod are listed here : https://jk3d.us/product/yamaha-tracer-900-gt-seat-slope-modification/ The OG thread is here : In the last few weeks I worked up a solution that is easy for this and simple to install, dozens of members have installed it on the Tracers, and recently a few members with the older '15-'17 FJ's installed it as well and verified it fits on those bikes as well. I am very proud of how this solution has worked and happy to help this community! (I am also working with some members on a T9 '21 version right now.)

I believe mine is better in many ways though. Mine uses rubber for the bushings to retain vibration isolation for the tank. that other kit uses hard plastic ones. The ramp/velcro design is more stable and consistent than the sticker spacers that kit uses, and makes adjustments fast. also my materials are much higher end than the kit above. I believe his is made of PETG or even worse PLA which will degrade in heat. Mine is carbon fiber nylon PA6 that is industrial/engineering quality, and is very heat and chemical resistant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna install in the morning and then ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilgo Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just put in my order - and I've not even bought the bike yet !! ( Off to view a low mileage FJ09 in a couple of weeks and fairly confident I'll be bringing her home with me ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
