Posted February 12, 20187 yr Here is hoping the newly redesigned seat for the Tracer 900 will fit on the FJ09 giving us another option. There aren't many things I want to change on this bike, but the seat is definitely one of them. I know there are some options out there, but the more there are, the better. 2017 FJ-09 - Yoshimura Y-series Exhaust / MRA Sport Screen / Evotech Rad Guard & Fork Sliders / Custom LED Rear Tail Light / Lowering Links / Mirror Extenders / Low Seat / Tail Tidy / Shogun Swingarm Sliders - Touring mods > Madstad 20" screen (on standby) / SHAD SH36 Hard Cases / SW-Motech Rear Alu-rack - Mods not yet installed > Fender Extender - Mods on the way > MT09 Adventure Pegs / Sargent seats / Knuckle Guard leds / Speedtech Photon Flush Mount LED signals / SW Motech Frame Sliders
February 19, 20187 yr Hi, I'm not sure about the 2018 Tracer 900 seat for the 2015-2017 FJ-09, but you can order MUCH more comfortable seats from Europe, if you want. Bagster makes a few, and they are amazing; I ordered one as soon as I bought my FJ-09 in early 2016 and it makes a world of difference. I would suggest Googling "Bagster AND Seat", or go straight to a reseller: https://www.silverstonemotor.com/en/selle-yamaha/256-bagster-yamaha-mt09-tracer-2015-2017-motorcycle-comfort-diva-ready-luxe-saddle-5355z.html Enjoy!

February 19, 20187 yr here's my Bagster seat thread started in 2015 https://fj-09.org/thread/2374/bagster-seat I bought mine after my first summer trip to France on the Tracer. Excellent seat but a shame it was necessary. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.
February 19, 20187 yr The stock seat that will come with the new Tracer 900 may be an improvement over previous years, but I wouldn't hold out hope on that one. I have yet to own a motorcycle that I've kept for any length of time where I didn't replace the stocker in short order. I expect the new Tracer seat will be the same. Cool to look at, but that's about all.

March 12, 20187 yr Is the Bagster the same height as the stock seat?Having had two (2) BAGSTER seats on two (2) Tracers I can answer that there is not a gnat's whisker of difference in seat height when fitted. Comfort - light years of difference... Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia.
