Johnjo Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Can anyone using the yamaha genuine comfort seat recommend it ? A search on them only brings up ones for resale. Makes me wonder if they're any good. After 2 hours riding on the original seat my butt is aching, literally, for a rest stop. Any opinions please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Kenny A. Posted June 18, 2023 Supporting Member Share Posted June 18, 2023 I got rid of the standard seat, 'cos it gave me a sore arse after a while. Fitted the comfort seat,and now what a difference. No pain !! 😊 Recommend. 👍 1 1 2019 900 GT, 1969 Honda S90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It's odd that Yamaha admits the stock seat is uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of bike manufacturers are the same. My last 4 modern triumph bikes all required the purchase of a comfort seat. The originals were all painful after an hour or twos riding. All the replacement seats I bought were a massive improvement. Its all about them making coin I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPD419 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 This is the first Japanese bike I’ve owned that the seat is actually comfortable on that I can remember. If the comfort seat is better I’d like to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTracer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 The problem for mfgrs is what shape ass is the norm? My fat rear takes a different shape than a 150# guy like I used to be. A good riding bud has never changed the stock seat on any bike over his 70 years. My $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 200 miles on the comfort seat that I had to order from England since not available in the USA. It along with the seat slope mod definitely helped. I do recommend both! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming that the seat slope fix is still needed with the Comfort Seat. 1 Regards, Grumpy Goat | 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT & 2016 BMW R1200RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
