Aftermarket update! Some of the crowd over on ADVrider and Thumpertalk recommended a Coleman ATV Seat Cover as a very cheap but very effective way of improving the seat on the KLX (and other dirt bikes with similarly harsh seating arrangements). At $20, surely it's worth a go? Sadly getting one in the UK is more like £60 on eBay or Amazon, and Walmart don't ship to the UK Oh, wait! Didn't I just spend two weeks in the US? Thank you very much, Walmart Kansas City Bit of a pain to fit, had to make some minor modifications (ie. remove the buckles from one of the straps and cable tie it together at the front end instead so that it still fit flush against the fuel tank), and the side panels are a very tight fit now. If it makes as big an improvement as people have said it will, I might just make it a more permanent fixture in such a way as the seat can be removed with less hassle in the future. It certainly feels more comfy on first impressions, but Saturday will be the telling thing - It usually takes 30 minutes for the pain to kick in Meant to rain on Saturday... good thing it's waterproof! I'll be testing that claim too. On the down side, the seat is now EVEN HIGHER. Before fitting it I could just about stand over the bike without putting any weight on the seat... I still can, but now I feel... much more supported, if you know what I mean So maybe this wouldn't be the best mod for people with shorter legs who want to be able to flat foot the bike. But then, nobody buys a dirt bike expecting to flat foot it, right?
