wow thank you for this checkswrecks. i was just looking at my bike last night and was wondering how to mod the passenger seat so the misses will be comfortable.Checkswrecks said:When I want to remember stuff like this I print the page and leave it on the workbench as a "to do."
If you ride much with a pillion, make a 3/8"-1/2" spacer to lift the front of her seat, too. Prevents her also getting a wedgy.
I tried it and it didn't work for me either . ( 6'4" tall ) . I think I'm going to try a Saddleman Adventure Track Seat . http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/saddlemen-adventure-track-seatKCampbell said:I guess I'm another for whom this was a really bad fit - turned my shoulders into screaming pain after about an hour. 6'3" with 34" inseam, seat on high.

Guess I missed it. What are the alternative Yamaha bumpers?platty said:::026:: I used the alternative Yamaha Bumpers and because I also plan to install the Seat Concepts seat upgrade, rather than drill the seat rear bracket I just stuck that one on with 3M Command double-sided tape ... so far it's holding o/k.
In my humble opinion this is almost the optimal S10 farkle ... cheap, quick and very effective. It significantly improved the comfort factor for me ::001::
Thanks AVGeek!AVGeek said:
I could be off base, but my shoulder pain was not from the seat tilt or height. It was the dramatic sweep of the OEM bars. I say dramatic, because they are extreme, when compared to almost every standard OEM and aftermarket bars. Wide shouldered fellas don't stand a chance.KCampbell said:I guess I'm another for whom this was a really bad fit - turned my shoulders into screaming pain after about an hour. 6'3" with 34" inseam, seat on high.

What ever you do, don't spend more that $3.50 on the mod.Fennellg said:Nice work, I just took delivery of 2015 ES. It was a 200 mile ride home. The seat was not bad, but I too kept riding up on the tank. This prevented me from making an accurate assesment of the seat. I came up with a solution that seems to work and is very easy. I stacked 6 quarters on the front two plastic posts. (Three a side.) Used scotch tape to secure. That way I can test and adjust with quarters. The seat removal does not seem to affected by 3 quarters of hight. I raisded the front instead of lowering the back. Once dialed in, I will use some silcone to secure. What do you think of my $1.50 solution. Leaves the bike stock. If there are any miss spellings please forgive. I can't seem to locate the spell check. We seeem to have every thing under the sun for posting. I must be missing something.
I raised the front of the seat as well.Fennellg said:I stacked 6 quarters on the front two plastic posts. (Three a side.) Used scotch tape to secure. That way I can test and adjust with quarters.

So how did you finally fix it ?KCampbell said:I guess I'm another for whom this was a really bad fit - turned my shoulders into screaming pain after about an hour. 6'3" with 34" inseam, seat on high.

No such thing as a silly question, yes they should come out fairly easily.IntRunner said:OK, silly question for someone who does not do a lot of wrenching. To get the original rubber grommets out, just grab with a pliers and pull and they'll stay in one piece?
