Posted December 7, 20186 yr New owner of a '19 Tracer 900 GT In the owner's manual it says there are 2 handlebar positions. I am guessing the second is turning the risers 180 degrees? Has anyone done this? I'm a shorter guy so if it brings it closer it'd be worth it for me.

Yes... turning the risers makes the difference.. @krucymucyis correct. They are generally mounted closer to the rider from the factory. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras... Fayetteville, GA, USA

The seat has two positions, make sure yours is on "low". 2019 Tracer 900 GT Niwot CO USA

It is! I bought it and picked it up in the morning (roads still wet from a pouring rain. Saw 5 accidents in the 10 miles to the dealer.... not riding a new bike in that) I think the salesman was expecting me to just grab the keys and go. He waited very patiently while I adjusted the seat, adjusted the rear preload, then broke out my rachet and caliper and adjusted front preload. I can barely touch ground with my boots on and I literally have to climb to get on it. Very different from my Honda Shadow which had like a 24 in" ride height lol Doesn't matter while i'm rollin' though!
