I find the seat pushes me forward, I feel like I roll forward and end up being uncomfortable after not that long, how does everyone else deal with this? New seat? If so what one?
Which seat do you currently have? Which setting is it in, low or high? If in high, does it have the 4 blocks attached? I had the std seat and swapped to a low seat, in the high setting and that’s exactly how I feel. I’m going back to the std seat in the high setting for a while to see if it feels better.
I find the same on my 1200R, bloody uncomfortable especially on rougher roads, squashing things that shouldn’t be squashed. I’ve tried both stock and comfort seats, no difference. the 990 Superduke is a revelation… all day comfortable with nothing getting squashed!!
Seating wise I tried the seat on my 1200s in the lower position but found it didn't give me enough leg room despite short legs, got cramp far too easily so went back to full high. Ride comfort can be as much about suspension settings as it is about the piece of foam you are sitting on. There are some bumpy back roads I use from time to time, the seat is gonna make little or no difference IMHO. I'm not gonna make changes to compromise the bike for the majority of riding on smoother roads.
Interesting, as I also did not like the stock seat on the 1200R but the comfort seat is fine for me. Very true. Ride comfort can be as much about suspension settings. I've just started a thread on that very topic: 1200 R Ohlins - Suspension Settings You would be amazed at how many owners have never changed their suspension settings since getting the bike off the showroom floor which could be all wrong for that rider. On this note, I have mentioned to my dealer that every bike should be adjusted to the rider when the bike is delivered. This includes suspension settings and also ergonomics such as levers, handlebar, shifter and rear brake pedal positioning.
