Hey all
Just wondering if anyone has used the Motoseat seat foam replacement and if so how stiff their foam is compared to stock. In this case I have a 2021 YZ250F.

Thanks!

I have a Motoseat on my 2016 YZ250F and it's awesome. Super comfortable (to me) - highly recommended.

My personal assessment is that it's slightly softer but also holds its shape better. Almost as if the foam sort of spreads the loads within itself better. Kinda of funky description, but that's my perception.

OK thanks ! I mean the stock one is perfect. Just what I read is that it breaks down rather quick.
I have a firm guts seat and its pretty dang hard so I was just seeing where abouts this one stands in the mix of things.

I ride moto 100% of the time if that matters

When I first rebuilt my KX500, I went with their +1" medium foam. It was great right from the start, but broke down really quick and ended up being too soft. I now use their +1" firm foam, and initially it's like riding on a cinderblock, but once it breaks in, it's right on the money. Hope that helps!

Zero,

Our seat foam is generally what we call a medium-firm density. Still gives you the firmness you need while riding but also offering you a bit of comfort as well. For the YZF like you have our foam wont break down like the stock foam does, it will keep its firmness and comfort.

Any questions let me know.

Thanks
