TomTracer Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I understand the impacts of lowering links, side stands may be too tall, center stands difficult to use, etc. The Tracer side stand on my 2 day new to me 2020 Tracer 900GT is ridiculously short making it very close to the bike and lean angle uncomfortable. I do use the foot pegs to mount the bike. I have spent time searching for links and stands but other than some place in Great Britain, no luck. Where are you guys getting those items from or are they victims of the covid crap, hence not available. Appreciate any help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted March 7, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted March 7, 2021 I used a company called T-Rex Racing for my lowering links and an adjustable side stand on my '17 FJ-09. After a while I had a local guy shorten my stock side stand by 1.5" and had it powder-coated. The T-rex side stand was fine but I didn't like depending on the adjustable bolt. Center stand works fine with no adjustment needed. Congrats on the Tracer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTracer Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thx for the info/suggestion. This is my 1st Yamaha in 63 yrs riding. Really hard to find them in my area and nobody can order them. May look for tail rack and dig thru my shelves of unused stuff amassed of the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisperquiet Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I immediately installed a side stand big foot on the pathetically lame Tracer GT side stand. Take your pick.....it is a huge improvement for bike stability when parked. yamaha+tracer+900+side+stand+enlarger | eBay Find great deals on eBay for...

TomTracer Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thx, yes, that makes a big difference Why Yam made it so short and positioned where it is who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) @TomTracer I installed lowering links to my GT and haven't had to alter the sidestand, as long as you are on level ground or ground sloping down to the left the standard side stand is fine. Getting it onto the centrestand is a little more difficult than it used to be but is still managable.

TomTracer Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thx, had similar small issue with other bikes I've lowered. The atracer sidestand really is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
