My body tends to lean forward if the sargent seat is adjustable, place it in the lower setting to sit up straighter instead of tall. raising your butt height will lean you more into the bars. lowering it will have you sitting more up-right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted February 23, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 23, 2019 I put 1-1/2 " lower bars! But they sweep back + 3/4" more and while I'm 6' (only 1.83 m, 3" shorter than 1.91 m) , I leave the Sargent low and flipped the OEM risers closer cuz I have Gorilla length arms so I still need the Givi Tour screen with the MRA Tour spoiler on top of that! Does this confuse anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet having the seat in the lower position will bend more my legs... I'm 1.91mts tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motodunner Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Is there any reason why I could not mount them in reverse to make them 1 inch further away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member betoney Posted May 26, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted May 26, 2019 @motodunner - They are reversible so that you can do exactly that. I believe the difference between forward or reversed position is 10mm. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexT Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi mates. I would like to raise again this topic since I am planning to move from tracer 700 to 900GT. In my case, the riding position is an issue, due to short body type (around 168cm). I have tested Tracer 900 (not GT) twice, and I also found that the motorcycle sets the body position to lean forward (seat was set to lower setting). My research until now, shows that this is due to the slight curve to the rear of the seat which pushes me forward and probably due to the unusual backward position of the rider's foot pegs. Note that feet on the ground are not the major issue. Above issue, makes my hands putting pressure on the handlebar, which is major issue for proper riding. My concern now is whether the following 2 modifications could potentially resolve the problem in order to proceed with the purchase. 1. Modify the original seat in order to reduce the curve that pushes you forward and also lower the seat height for about 2cm 2. Install Yamaha's original handlebar raisers in order to move it 2,4 cm closer to me and maybe some cm to make it taller. Highly appreciate your comments and thoughts.
