T9 seat MY18

[Dodgy Knees]

Really, really enjoying this perfect sized bike. I've changed a few bits and pieces, my only gripe at the moment is the forward tilting seat. I find myself standing and shuffling my arse back up the seat. It's not a biggy but it's there. Every bike has it's little gripes and I'm trying to get the T9 gripe free.

Are there any cheapish solutions or is it something to live with, which I could ???...and it's great having a centre stand back.

Cheers.

I have seen, on this site I think, someone put some PVC pipe pieces under the front mount points to raise it to fit in the FWD Upper mount position. Left the rear in the lower position.

Now that sounds like a idea. Front high, back low. Maybe nylon spacers to build up front mounts. Will look at weekend.

Thanks..

Had a quick look and no good. Seat sits out of line with plastics and big horrible gap. Could be done but would spoil looks. Gonna ride tomorrow in low position but presume same results. 

I imagine many have tried an easy solution before i came along with same results. Not a biggy and will live with it for now.. Maybe a grippy seat cover is the cheaper answer.

Make sure you move the support for the seat to the L position as well.

Did 100+ miles this morning in low position. Same forward tilt i think but didn't notice much difference in leg room when riding but flat feet at stop, so will leave in low for now. 

If this is my only issue, then I'm happy. ☺️

Take a look at this.
