Is the passenger area of the seat any thicker and is it more comfortable than the stock seat? This is the only area I want more cushioning. I don't want the front area any higher. I'm 5ft 8in and barely touch the ground now, but my wife wants more cushioning in the passenger area.
I have the Low version with the gripper cover, i must say it's way better than the stock but sometimes still hurts over bumps, If i was a taller guy i would definatley got the tall version, not that i gained a lot with the short version but every bit counts with a short inseam.
I have never had the low seat but I think the foam is the same as my tall seat and the foam is not as soft as stock and that is a good thing. The stock foam is to soft and smashes flat. The foam on the seat concepts is a lot better for sure.
Edward Hall as woodzman sad the seat concept has a more harder foam material , definitely harder than stock. And the gripper version is helps you lock into position during hard breaking.
Great video! Would be possible to reinstall the stock seat cover instead of the one from Seat Concept? I need to lower the seat of my CRF300L but I'm not a huge fan of the look and feel of SC covers.. Thanks! Cheers
Great video. You make it look like a fairly easy install. I was wondering if you sprayed the foam also to stick the plastic onto the foam before putting on the cover. Any thoughts?
I knew you would and I think it is great bro the crf250l deserves the love man. Great all around true dual sport bike that can handle cross country trips long commutes or single track and all in between, and can be made to climb any hill you come across if you want to gear it that low. keep this one even if you ever want to get a bigger bike so you don't have to mad a 3rd crf250l lol! If thin bike had the 12 tooth larger sprocket like my wr250f I am sure it would not bog even on the steepest hill climb. Just going to a 13 42 for off road riding has made a huge improvement on the big long technical 2nd gear climbs. Everyone I ride with now has a new respect for the 250l and people are now stopping me thinking it is the new 450l because of how I at 145 lbs. am able to rip this thing around like a dirt bike. Just no large jumps or super fast whoops like the wr250f likes to do. The wr250f can also pull the front wheel up with throttle only at 45 mph to clear a rut or whatever, and that is nice for faster paced riding, but it is nowhere near the comfort and rideability of this crf250l on the road or even relaxing comfort on the trail. I just ordered this seat kit for the wr250f as well along with a rear aluminum cargo rack. Once you have these luxury's it is hard to ride with a numb sore butt and not being able to carry your gear and tools as easy. I may have to get a second Nelson Rigg bag like you recommend woodsman, like I use daily on the 250l I never take it off now!
Which glue did you use for the cushion? I just ordered the low s c cushion and cover.hope there is not too long of a wait. Just bought a pair of 2018 250l s . Wife is only 5'3 so going to have to look at lowering hers. Went with the kouba link
Was your complete seat a drop in replacement? I’m having a hard time with the company right now. I’m on my second complete seat and both had a defect. A lot of time wasted. The bolt holes on mine have not been centered in the tabs and make it not possible to get two bolts in. I could have saved time and money but just getting the kit and stapling it to myself. In my experience so far, the Honda seat pan has better tolerances than seat concepts pan. SAVE MONEY! get the kit and not the complete!
Try lighter fluid on the area with the glue, Let sock in till the glue comes off easily.. I never tried this on that seat but did that with hot wheel packs lol Try small area first is all ;)
Did you use regular staples or stainless steel? Never really thought about but a guy in another yt video had a valid point of conventional staples getting rusty. I’m ready to pull the trigger on one for my 2017 CRF250L. Tired of a sore @ss after riding. Great vid as always!
Question for CRF250L owners... my 2017 acts strange sometimes. When in the higher gears and put a lot of load on engine the bike cuts out for a second. The only way to describe it is feels like you pulled the clutch in while on throttle. The bike jerks and looses momentum. I replaced the clutch thinking that was it but nope. This is driving me nuts cause I seem to be the only one with this problem. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
I am trying to come up with some different mirrors, I’m not a fan of how big they are. Do you have any plans to change your mirrors or will you leave them stock?
I changed them on my 2014 250L to the double take mirrors but I think on this bike I will leave them stock. They work pretty good unless your in the brush. That is where the double takes are nice because you can fold them in. You have to be careful what you get because the cheap mirrors vibrate bad.

I am looking at getting one of these CRF250Ls. This is such a great informative channel.
Thanks so much! Its a great bike. I have owned an uncountable amount of motorcycles but i like the 250l more than any i have had
Thanks man. I am just about to install mine. Great description. Especially as I intend to do it old school like you with hand stapler. Ride on.
Awesome, thanks for watchin
Looks like another potential mod added to my list. Nice video!
I like the color combination of the new seat cover! Better than the stock.
Yea the Black makes it look good
That wasn’t bad at all, you made that look easy.👍
It’s not to hard and saves 100 bucks over buying the full seat with the pan
Thanks for all the inspiration to fuel my next adventure!
Your welcome, thanks for watchin
Great video and tips 😊

I don’t remember how much thicker it is but it is better foam. I still use the Mad Dog pad when the wife ride with me.

Great add! Looks clean too! Thanks and keep'em coming
Your welcome ! More to come
Excellent install video, Woodzman! Good stuff, dual sport rider.
Thanks dual sport Gus
Did you use monel staples?
yes, i didn't want them to rust
I'm curious if old foam woulda fit underneath the new stuff. The stock foam sure FEELS thin enough to just leave it there.
It might, not sure
I think I might do the full seat so I could have two seats do you still have the bike
No I just have the 300L now
@@Woodzman if you ever near California HMU we can ride the bdr
Are you from Missouri
@user-mc2rf7sq7r yea I’m from Missouri
@@Woodzman just got that crf250l went on a ride was so fun
@crf250lguy sweet
This is a great video can’t wait to order myself a seat concepts. The stock seat is so uncomfortable for longer rides
Oh yea the seat concepts is incredible

Stand up over them bumps

WOODZMAN ADVENTURES i have to unfortunately👍😜. What rear back is that btw?
Great video is that the light texture seat or is it the completely smooth one
It’s textured

No the foam would be to big
Thanks for uploading this. Very helpful. Is the Seat Concepts wider than stock? I got a wide caboose.
Oh yea it’s wider than the stock seat, lots better
Great video. You make it look like a fairly easy install. I was wondering if you sprayed the foam also to stick the plastic onto the foam before putting on the cover. Any thoughts?
I sprayed the seat pan to stick the foam to it. Nothing on the seat cover
Such a great vid! Thank you!
Your so welcome!
@@Woodzman do you have any videos on protective gear or helmets?
Also any videos on tips for beginners:)
Yea just search TH-cam for “Woodzman helmet” or “Woodzman gear” “Woodzman KLIM”
Looks great!
And less painful lol
I want to get a tall as well,for booty comfort. I'm 5' 9'' Just a little concerned about flat foot placement for when I'm off road on trails.
It should be ok
Where can I get it?
crfsonly.com
where did you get that locking gas cap? i have a 2008 crf230L and need a locking cap for it.
That is the cap that comes on a CRF250L
Great video woods, thank you ! How tall and how much do you weigh. I’m thinking of grabbing one of these
I’m 6’1” 135 thanks
Nice install Frank,you are getting the bike decked out again....lol...
Yea here I go again lol

Sweet, I’m not sure of the brand but it is just spray adhesive
Hi! I need to know what is the seat high from ground of Tall Seat Consept with OEM shock absorber? Tnx in advance.
Well it’s like 1” taller than stock

Wow , yea on my 2014 when I got the complete seat, it was perfect, the seat pan was pretty much identical to the stock. My 2018 I just got the kit
Seats really are easy to do kinda fun
Try lighter fluid on the area with the glue, Let sock in till the glue comes off easily.. I never tried this on that seat but did that with hot wheel packs lol Try small area first is all ;)
Good idea ! Thanks for the Heads Up, Heads Up !
again good video

How much taller would you say it is than stock? Thanks for posting your videos.
Your welcome. About an inch
With those knight foot pegs and your tall seat, that is quite a change. Is it too much or about right?
Fits me pretty good. I’m 6-1

That is strange, I need to think about that one
Where are you located? Looks familiar
SW Missouri near Exeter
Can you say how the Seat Concepts compares to the Corbin on your '14? TIA
I like the seat concepts better.
@@Woodzman Thanks, it's lighter and cheaper too. I put a SC seat kit on my FZ-09 and it's all good.
Yea I like it, sure way better than stock
Great video, may I ask how tall you are ?
Well I just did ;)
Lol I’m 6’1 yea I’ll tell yuh, We’ll I I just did ;)
@@Woodzman hi! So with 6'1 the tall seat isnt making the bike too high for you?
Thanks!
May at all, it’s pretty much a perfect fit.
@@Woodzman thanks! Ordering the tall one soon:)
The factory definitely doesn't use 3M 90 spray adhesive! Guaranteed, that foam would not have come off if they had. 😄
Yea on mine there was hardly any and it wasn’t stuck very good

I just bring mine to an upholsterer......for 30 bucks :)
Did you bring the Seat Concepts kit or the OEM seat to the upholsterer?
