Common sense would tell you that wouldn't it. I got the tip from someone else and it made sense so I did it with excellent results.

What is the furthest you've ridden in one day so far?

Holy crap. I did about 600 in 24 hours all road on my ninja 500 in May. But I layed on my tank bag and it was no big deal.

On my KLX 75 miles of commuting and my back side and low back are hurting.
Still love the bike though.

98% offroad @ 70mph standing up? Did I just wake up from a dream? Thats pretty hard core.

I ride my sf to work and school riding anywhere from an hour to 2 hours of riding a day, plus riding for fun and that stock seat just wasn't cutting it for commuting. I think those creases look fine and I am very happy with the new seat, did 2-3 hours of riding yesterday and didn't get sore at all.

Just did 4-hour trip on my KLX250SF. Man, that seat kills me. I really don't like how it slopes forward. Can anyone recommend a new seat upgrade?
