alquimista Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi, Where I live is difficult to get seats like Corbin, Sargent, etc. Only option around here to the stock seat is the OEM comfort seat. Has any one used it, how better it is compared to the original seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have no direct experience of it, but have only read poor reviews. Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have no direct experience of it, but have only read poor reviews.From a quick look at one in the dealership, it appears and feels identical to the stock seat apart from some extra stitching. But correct me if I'm wrong... Riding a fully-farkled 2019 MT-09 Tracer 900 GT from my bayside home in South East Queensland, Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have one for my FZ-07 and it was a better seat than OEM but it makes for a nice comfy race day seat... the foam is denser on the outside edge but still uses stock foam in a "trench" right in the middle... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member upshift Posted October 10, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 10, 2017 My used FJ came with the Yamaha Comfort seat on it and I've never ridden the stocker (save for a couple of short-ish test rides at a dealership) so can't fairly compare between the two but will say that I find the Comfort version adequate for day riding but less so for multi-day touring. After a 10-day jaunt this summer, my sit bones were sore for weeks. Hence, my interest in the Bagster that @wordsmith lovingly endorses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve94 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 i have a friend who has and fJ with a comfort seat and have ridden his bike twice. Do remember that I still have the stock seat on my bike at 21k. My thought is that the comfort seat is firmer and a bit taller than stock. I liked it.

oldbiker Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I tried one before the Corbin Seat came out. The comfort seat is the same size as the original. The padding is a little denser and the texture of the seat covering is different. With the stock I could ride 1/2 hour then I would start to get uncomfortable. The Comfort Seat would double that time. I went with the Corbin seat and sold the stock and comfort seat to offset the high cost of the Corbin. Hope this helps.
