ETZ 250 Comfort

Postby Andy_C » Sun Jun 23, 2019 2:54 am

Does anyone have any suggestions for iimproving the seat comfort on an ETZ 250?

I found that on the return leg of my recent 210 mile ride the seat started to get really uncomfortable, to put it bluntly my rear feels a bit sore in places today.

The bike took the 210 miles in it's stride but the seat let it down - some of it may be down to the seat being quite narrow, some down to it feeling quite hard.

Any suggestions ?

Following a biased and flawed moderator choice (someone posting aggressive personal attacks is rewarded, while my technical posts are removed - behind my back & without any justification!), I have withdrawn from this forum.

I agree with Puffs.

As a long distance rider of my MZ's,

The 250 seat on mine is from the earliest age of ETZ250 so is quite used and the foam quite perished- despite the outside cover looking pretty prestine!

My 251 seat is a lot confier than my 250- but I think that is down to my age/use of 250 seat- for my brother's still has a nice bounce!

For easier riding on the bum- as puffs has said, fold out the passenger pegs and use them to rest your feet on.. It makes a big difference to the stress of the legs at high speed motorway journeys! Also, sheepskin can relieve a bit of pressure too.
