KLX 300 Seat Concepts Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 мар 2022
- I added the Seat Concepts comfort, carbon, semi-grip seat to my KLX 300 dual sport bike. This should give you an idea of how it looks, feels and whether or not it's worth the $300 over the stock seat.

I am very happy with my seat concepts seat on my klx seat foam is spot on and width is very nice for commuting, for riders that are short may struggle to reach the ground, I am 6 ft flat and the extra width doesn't stop me from reaching the ground comfortably!
Where did y'all order the new seat at ?
waiting on mine, same as yours for same KLX 300. built just for me. people should know u fill out a questionnaire with weight with gear, age, what u ride, where, for how long, etc and thats why takes like 4 weeks. they're building a custom seat just for u!. and its worth it. Thanks for vid on it. nice job on the top down side by side comparo.
Thanks, yes that’s a good point. They do take your weight and riding style, etc, into account.
I have the KLX 300 supermoto I have the same seat yeah it was comfortable at first but for long rides you might want a seat cushion on top of it from my experience it hurt my butt after 30 minutes of riding and I would have to stand up for a little bit or move around on the seat to try and get comfortable I mean it's worth the money but you're better off customizing it when you get it and put a gel insert
@@kurbuy21 welp, only so much they can do its a single cylinder no rubber mounting, never expected it to 'tour' lol right?. on gel seats... dont do it, they heat up real good n fast in sun an takes all day to cool down.
@@kurbuy21 That’s the next video, a longer ride on that seat with mostly road and some dirt trails. Just to see how it holds up all day.
@@ribalderr6052 That’s a solid tip. And, exactly right, it’s not a touring bike. But I just wanna know how long can I really go before I want to get off the thing.
Bought one a few weeks ago. Long lead time, hope it's worth the big dough!
I hope so too. I feel it was worth it. But it wasn’t a magic fix. Just a better seat.
Btw I have a seat concepts low seat on my klx300 and I love it. Good comfort and high quality. It is wider. I’m 5’4 and it definitely helps me reach the ground
How much lower is it? Did you find it much different in your ability to put your feet down?
@@motopicnic it’s advertised as 1” lower, it certainly feels like a world of difference in my ability to touch the ground. Still not totally flat footed but no longer have to lean on one foot alone.
@@joshua7999 that’s a great piece of info for people
Hey Josh thanks for the info. as I am 5'5 and have a short inseam of 28". I want the Klx 300 but just not sure if it's too tall? I am gonna go sit on one hopefully this week. Got looking at this seat and thought it might not make that much of a difference at only 1" but glad to hear. Are you able to at least flat foot with one foot due to the seat?
@@lonster6865 flat footed, no. Where before I only had one foot on the ground with a lean, I can now get both that balls of my feet down. But trust me, the 1” seems to be a world of difference. You can do it
Yeah that extra inch in width is a huge difference -alleviates some pressure points on your behind
Yes it’s amazing how that works
@@motopicnic hey when I’m ordering threw seat concept do I have to send my seat into them or do they send me a all the material thanks for your time have a great day
@@sk23347 I bought the whole seat from them already built. I recommend that.
But if you have the right upholstery tools etc, they will send you the materials to put over your stock seat pan.
Good luck with that, let us know how it goes.
Do you have the choice of either the kit for you to do it on your own or the complete seat with the molding
So did you buy a new seat (cover, foam and cushion) already made? I found the cover and cushion which you repulser your existing pan with. It would be more convenient to buy it all in with seat pan.
If so would you have the link?
Thanks.
Yes, I bought it all together. A completely new seat.
It’s an option you choose when you buy it, same web page.

@@motopicnic ok thanks very much. I could only find the cover and padding. Fantastic job.
At 245, how is it legal to cut in front of those two vehicles, stopped at the light?
Great question. Both lane splitting and lane filtering are legal in California. They even teach new drivers to “make room” for motorcycles.
There are several more states proposing to adopt these laws right now, because the Insurance Institute data and a study by UC Berkley shows those who lane split are less likely to be injured in an accident. And that’s because we are protected from being rear ended and pinned between two cars. And then we take off faster at the green light than cars, and separate ourselves from the crowd of cars behind us. This helps us to be seen earlier and harder to hit. It’s good for them and good for us.
Some states with these laws currently awaiting a legislative vote include: Utah (already legal to lane filter), Arizona, Hawaii, Washington, Connecticut, Oregon and Virginia.
Thanks for asking.
Yeauh
Very nice little review. Any update regarding longer time on the road?
Thanks for asking. I did do an all day ride up to and into the Rubicon which will be an upcoming video. It was way better than stick but I was still sore after 8 hrs.
I have been on other bikes and recently got back on this one for some local exploring and I’m finding the seat to be more comfortable than I remembered. I still recommend it.
@@motopicnicImpressive. 8 hours is a long time.Now I just need to decided to get a KLX or a 300L 😀
@@BMRTV 😂 That’s a good problem to have. For me it came down to the suspension. Not that you couldn’t swap that out. I’ve already put different handle bars, foot pegs, and tires on my KLX.
@@motopicnicThe suspension is the big win for the KLX. I've seen videos of NolanRides jumping his (big air) and it handles it. I don't do anything like that, but it's nice to know it can.
I keep going back and forth. I do ride 1-2 hours pavement each way to the trails (highway / freeway) so the L's 6th gear sounds nice.
I have the same seat on my wr250r..as the seat breaks in it gets more comfortable..
I expect that’s true, I did a huge ride to the Rubicon last week. I’m about to take it back out today and I think it is breaking in nicely
@@motopicnic yea I seriously considered sending mine back but after about 200 miles it's way more comfortable now..seat concepts says it take about 150 miles to break it in..I don't know if you have ridden a wr250r but the factory seat is like sitting on a 2x4
@@gabrielkopp2036 same with this factory seat. I appreciate your comment. That trip I just did last week was 200 miles and it does seem better now. Hopefully even more as it goes.
God I can’t wait to change out the seat on my 23 230. 30 mins and it hurts my fat ass
100% understand.
This will be a game changer for you, but don’t expect it to be a comfy couch. It’ll take some breaking in. But where you’ll notice it is in the long rides. The fact that you can keep going and you’re ok an hour later.
Let me know how it works out 🤘
