Might as well come with that seat stock.

[@Oktobyr]

Reserved an SP in Feb, dealer finally said "any day now" and that it's on its way! Begin the hype with accessory shopping!

[@kookied2594]

Thanks for all of the great content

[@MyRandomLife247]

Just put my deposit down on one. Can't wait for it to arrive end of September. Subscribed homie!

[@ar2043]

When I bought my Fz 09 in 2016, I knew after riding it 3 miles I knew that I was going to have to do something about the seat. I ordered the Yamaha OEM comfort seat and it was the best modification I've made for any motorized vehicle ever in my life. Absolute night and day difference for me. And I mean night and day.

[@mtblife7335]

Where did you buy? Link please

[@CraigSmith568]

I like that it doesn't look a lot different than the stock seat.

[@DukeOfPain88]

Love your videos :) ordert the new mto9sp 2022. but i have to wait :(

[@GuthixCss]

I just ordered one for the second time because the first shop lied about availability, I hope it arrives before saturday.

[@chrislehman9735]

Love that Blue Dyna in the background...😍

[@matthewbenefield5188]

Have you made a pt 4 on your beginner guides like corners throttle blipping and other guides

[@mtmoto4522]

so any long term review or 1000 mile review coming up like how it holds up and stuff if it still has same support as when you bought it?

[@justintimeforbrownies5246]

Did 157 miles on my 21 SP yesterday my A$$ begged me to buy this seat it should be here tomorrow haha had it on my 2nd gen 09 it’s a must have !

[@wade4699]

Hey did you get it? Is it much more comfortable?

[@yamaharider8014]

Still looks like the new seat slopes toward the tank. My Super Tenere has a sloping seat, and I'm always pushing myself backwards. I'll be back in Florida😎 soon after 4wks out OTR, and riding my bike. May get a custom seat for it at some point...👍😺

[@jairondelafe1834]

It’s not too bad. I don’t find myself sliding into my gas tank at all. It’s prettyz comfortable. I have the comfort seat as well

[@keykey3014]

That's what i'm finding on youtube. Thank you

[@toofastnobrakes]

Should check out a seat by a company called bagster, amazing seats! Can get one for this bike with the MT09 badging and with to match blue stitching, also very comfy. Love mine on my 21 Z900

[@damonstevenson3279]

Did the seat cover stop wrinkling near the front? I’m hoping after it wears in that would stop.

[@seriouslyson6559]

Congrats on the bike.idk how you got it in Orlando. I ordered it near Okeechobee in November. Fml

[@BlockheadMoto]

Showed up in Jax, got really lucky!

[@SocalMoMoto]

Because I'm vertically challenged. I'm going to have to do a Gel insert. Haven't decided if I want to do it myself or take it to an upholstery shop. 🤔 but since I can't spare anymore seat height. It's really my only option.

[@Yashawarrior]

Have you debated lowering it? I’ve got my SP ordered and don’t see any lowering parts or know if I want to lower it at all.

[@SocalMoMoto]

@@Yashawarrior hello. No. I have no plans on lowering it. I really don’t want to mess with the way it handles. I don't know that it would but not taking the chance. My Speed Triple was tall also. But horribly balanced. This bike, I can hold it straight up with one finger. Hope you get your ride soon!

[@toddsedell9054]

Do they make one for the MT07?

[@hendrxx_]

Got my corbin today, really prefer the bucket... the extra padding is just a plus

[@S550MT09]

How do you like the corbin so far ?

[@hendrxx_]

@@S550MT09 It's good, if your main use of the bike is commuting it's perfect. Getting into twisties and I've taken it on track a few times, the stock seat is way better. The corbin limits side to side movement too much especially if you ride with your ass toward the back. It's sort of lipped towards the back because of the bucket, which is what limits the movement.

[@S550MT09]

@hendrxx_ thanks for your reply brother, I do mostly 2 hours each way commute and my tail bone is killing me on the stock seat , I was looking into either getting the comfort seat for 260 or this one for 650 im starting to think I should save my money for this one

[@hendrxx_]

@@S550MT09 no problem. I’ve heard good things about the comfort seat. Honestly I would have probably gotten the comfort seat but at the time of writing that the gen3 was brand new and the comfort seat was impossible to get. If the situation is better now I would tell you to save some money and try that one out before splurging on the corbin.

[@S550MT09]

@hendrxx_ I remember it was almost impossible to get ahold of when i first bought my bike 3 years ago now its widely available on amazon and ebay, also the bagster goes for 360 so only 100 more than the comfort seat so very difficult decisions 😅

[@gatewaymoto]

man that had to be the hardest seat swap i have ever sean lol

[@BlockheadMoto]

Incredibly labor intensive! 😰

[@grampsaggyballs]

I understand it is soft while riding around town, curious how it is when you are on it for a few hours straight.

[@Nomad.Rider.22]

Block great vid man. Pls do a video on the blue sportster in the garage. I think u said it was your brothers bike. I would like to know the story behind it.

[@BlockheadMoto]

It’s a Dyna Super Glide. Used H-D he picked up for cheap in great condition. His first bike after he passed the class, found it on Fb marketplace 👍🏼

[@Nomad.Rider.22]

@@BlockheadMoto that’s great man. Thank you for getting back to me. I was always interested in it. It looks very beautiful.

[@PureEvolution]

How is the seat holding up looking to get one for mine but thinking custom if it doesnt last

[@ar2043]

I will say though, the comfort seat from Yamaha for my 2016 looked much much better than that one in my opinion. But that's subjective. I don't like it without the bolster for the passenger. Well, the bolster would actually be for the driver/rider much better with the separation between the driver and passenger as far as looks go.

[@EvaLove001]

i love your blue bike :) its cool

[@TK-gd9td]

Do you know if that comfort seat would retrofit the mt 03 ?

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Where is Zuko ! A cameo of Zuko in your intro would be nice.

[@roberteaston1662]

Worth every penny.

[@Rabessey]

What happened to the Levers you installed 6 days ago?....The gold ones with the blue adjusters ASV C5?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Vids didn’t come out in chronological order, sorry 😅

[@mt09madness]

The Gen2 MT09 comfort seat is way better. Has a little step between rider and pillion, kinda holds the rider in place when you get on the throttle.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Definite perk!

[@thestuntlot]

Well as an owner of the FZ/MT10 and completed a 3200+ mile, 8 day, 7 night World Record Poker Run….stick to less than a day trip worth of miles and you will be fine. Doing 12+ hours per day I do not recommend it for the FZ/MT10 for those loooong trips

[@raceboy1971]

Be nice if I could find an MT09SP anywhere close to FL.

[@Rabessey]

My 'shop' already had them on 'back order', so I put a down payment on one. I'll have to ask where I am on their list. I've heard Yamaha sold a ton of the first and second generation bikes....so my question is: Why aren't they making a ton of them now, considering the demand?

[@tg8150]

The fact that it has already began to “bunch up” after a short ride tells me a lot about it’s durability or lack thereof.

[@DrTabarnak]

After watching your videos on the MT-09 I'm really wanting to get one. But it's been a toss up between it and an R6.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Had an R6 years ago. Fun bike but way more track oriented since the power band is all top end, barely any torque. MT09 is way more usable in day to day riding 👍🏼

[@kennethholley6330]

Mt-09 for the win. Just bought mine and im in love and sold

[@i4get75]

Mt-09 is a beast on the streets. Very the R6 of your doing a lot of track days but I absolutely love my 2022 Yamaha MT-09

[@copperswirl4320]

I have three questions. How much taller is the comfort seat over the standard? How much wider is the neck or front of the seat versus the standard? Does that extra width make it uncomfortable? Keep up the good work. Also how tall are you?

[@user-zt3wl4ki2m]

Around 2inch high

[@cloane85]

what bar end mirrors are those?

[@slowridefpv9668]

I wish the aftermarket would make a solo seat and bobber style fairing in the passenger seat area.

[@crazyrebl]

Give it time there weill be tons of after market parts for this bike

[@slowridefpv9668]

I hope so! I’d love the solo look!

[@SJ_999]

I just ordered mine Saturday along with the de pretto moto windscreen how long did it take for the seat to arrive?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Seat was fast in shipping, took about 3 days

[@SJ_999]

@@BlockheadMoto yup they’re both here. Do you happen to know when the ecu is going to get cracked?

[@jt2816]

I’ve been waiting on mine for the 10 almost four months :(

[@aressimbamt0959]

my stock seat is moving to sides when you touch it very much

[@jaytee1030]

I'm disappointed that I didn't get any stickers with my mt09sp

[@frecciajonica7500]

hello from italy🖐️😃🇮🇹, does the seat comfort measure higher than the seat stock? thank you

[@i4get75]

From what I've read is 20mm higher.

[@KNBProds]

i just moved away from the orlando area. i actually worked across the street from ace cafe. yea...OBT & 50 is ummm...special...*cough*

[@mattpresley7406]

What happened to your new levers?

[@BlockheadMoto]

Video not chronological 😅

[@jtec99]

Consider that other custom seats cost 450+ the Yamaha stock one is 200 less. At first they feel stiff, by after about 500 miles you'll be so happy you did it. With every penny.

[@OzzyMoto27964]

needed to hear this, just got mine and i hate it lol

[@jtec99]

@@OzzyMoto27964 yeah my dude, it def breaks in well. You made a good purchase

[@locoman3498]

Does it change the seat height noticeably?

[@asimmohd6687]

Love from kerala india 💕🇮🇳

[@cosbro5389]

Like everything about the MT09 except the seat and i dont think its actually the seat but the position your in on the bike..I had the comfort seat on the 2018 model and it made no real difference...i can ride the ktm 790/890 all day but 45 mins on the yamaha and im not having fun

[@DigDeep55]

Dude your awesome

[@BlockheadMoto]

No, u!

[@doncaruso1949]

Charlies steak house on OBT has awesome steak and if you go there for your birthday you get half off.

[@Dunwelll]

Does it change the seat height?

[@SocalMoMoto]

@Dunwell I was told it's about 25mm or almost an inch higher. Unfortunately for me.

[@BlockheadMoto]

I didn’t really notice a difference but possible a tiny bit. I’d have to put the stock one back on to see

[@kookied2594]

I absolutely love my comfort seat, holy happy tush. Just a friendly fyi....to women and men: if ya have a supple bum definitely worth the upgrade!! Yup good ol OBT and Col....the aroma issa no good!!!

[@powamoto]

Custom seats? Don’t tell me this channel is following me? Great video bro🚀🚀🔥✊✊🙏🏽❤️🎥💯👍☝️❤️🎥🚀💯🎥🔥✊🙏🏽

[@rogereast8600]

Would you give up goldzilla for a sports bike

[@BlockheadMoto]

No, lol

[@BlockheadMoto]

I’m so confused by this question, lol. Why do you ask?

[@BaghdadSon78]

"Big buts" hahaha

[@fullnoeleko]

I have seen that several peoples ask if the comfort seat is higher, but it seem that nobody answer. It could be great if we could get an answer. Thanks a lot

[@BlockheadMoto]

Sets about the same, just is a bit softer

[@w.u.7168]

The wrinkles after a shorts ride don't look like quality stuff

[@corbinsguitar]

the one on revzilla is wayyyyy better

[@BlockheadMoto]

For a 2021 MT09? Drop a link, I haven’t seen any besides made by Yamaha

[@TheDankh]

Jumpin' all around time with these updates, lol. No gold levers or windscreen.... time travel!

[@indecentchords]

I noticed immediately!

[@BlockheadMoto]

Lol yeah my bad, not chronological 😅

[@fxDEBIAN]

Nope, not worth it! I just bought some padded biking pants and it is sooo much better!

[@elhamsheikhi9526]

[@BlockheadMoto]

Y not

[@jamessayerii5213]

Are you heavy? That seat rucking is bs, should never happen.

[@huggybear3156]

Don't know why no one else hasn't mentioned this. It's an absolute deal breaker for me. Looks terrible.
