No complaints at all, however, I will tell you this, if you have a gel seat insert and leave it out in the sun it will bake your butt when you get back on it.Ernesto said:I am going to be picking up my FZ6 this weekend....CANT WAIT!!! I am wondering if anyone out there has complaints about the seat getting hot from the exhaust? Passenger complaints??
Hey Skippy, I'm dying to get some gel inserts for my seat and was gonna use the same place that FAZR6 used... but now a buddy of mine is trying to convince me to do it myself. He says that it's too much money to pay. Any advice?virtualt said:No complaints at all, however, I will tell you this, if you have a gel seat insert and leave it out in the sun it will bake your butt when you get back on it.
The gel seems to hold onto the heat and then not let it disperse.
I always keep the bike under cover or put my jacket over the seat in direct sunlight.

It is actually quite simple, there was a thread on it in the old forum that I followed, from some guy in the UK that did it.asudawg said:No heat problems at all for me. You would think it would, but it's not an issue.

I dont know about you guys. My seat heats up pretty bad. Is this a function of a new bike/seat? I hope not. Any suggestions to fix this problem?Patpuma said:No heat from exhaust at all, which is surprising and nice. In fact, my seat gets warmer from the sun than the exhaust! As far as the discomfort that many complain about, my commutes are so short that I haven't had any issues with the stock seat. Maybe as I take longer rides, I'll want to replace it. We'll see...
