I typically don’t go too far beyond the difficulty of oil and filter changes, or simple accessory installs. I didn’t find it all that difficult. If you’re uncomfortable with it I’ll bet a dealer wouldn’t charge more than an hour labor.

On a 2021 when the seat is in the low position there’s a rubber pad that installs and it eliminates that gap.

Hope you have a good experience too!

“I think if you give our seat some time to break in you'll notice the seat adjusts to how you sit in it and once you imprint your butt into that foam you will not slide forward as easily. “

Corbin had emailed me and asked if the spacer worked with their seat. He also said that I should form a spot with my butt where the seat will keep me in place better.

The Corbin seat works better with the spacer. I’m still trying it out. Overall I’m definitely disappointed. The biggest issue being the forward slant of the stock seat, and to still have it with the Corbin 🙄 All I did yesterday was a series of short rides trying the height adjuster in different positions, upper and lower slots, then comparing with the stock seat in high and upper slot as per Yamaha. I’m riding a couple hours tomorrow and that should give me a better idea how I like it.

I might have time to try the 3D printed spacers with the Corbin tomorrow. If I don’t like it for any reason I’ll let the seat go for $500 plus shipping. I am located in So California. I thought I’d post this here for anyone following this thread and thinking of getting one.

While the seating surface does have a texture to it, it’s definitely more slippery than the stock seat.

Yes, it’s definitely has a large flat area. The stock seat has a U shape. I ordered the standard which is the high seat. Following the instructions I set the seat adjuster to the low position and used the lower slot for the seat tab. Seeing the comments from the other forum member he seems to think the distance to the handlebars increased. I didn’t notice a change. Maybe I need to ride it more, or perhaps the 3D spacer kit increased his distance from having a different body lean - torso position. For materials I chose see the following post.

The knees squeezing the tank trick helped a lot on my ride this morning. Thanks to the member that suggested that! I’ll look through posts tonight. Pretty busy day. I probably will end up putting back the 3D spacer too. Thanks betoney!

I did email them tonight. I’ll post what they say after we figure out something. Thank you. 😊

I’m 6’1”, 34” inseam. I wish I had good news. I just got back from a short 20 minute ride, and the Corbin is every bit as bad as the stock seat for crunching up your manhood as you slide towards the gas tank. Zero improvement. Towards the back of the seat where it’s wide seems like it might be a comfortable place to sit. As soon as I roll off the throttle or apply the brakes the only way to stay there is putting hard pressure with my forearms against the handlebars. My opinion that’s a dangerous way to ride in case I need to swerve suddenly. So I mostly just rode up towards the tank and not enjoying life. I’m going to put the 3D printed spacer kit back on and see if I can get the Corbin mounted on the bike with that in place. I hope to have the time later this week to do that. For my short commute tomorrow I’m just putting my stock seat back on. I guess it’s time to read the fine print on Corbin’s return policy/guarantee.

Unlocking the seat just now to take the pic, then putting it back on it actually worked very smooth unlocking and relocking.
