Too Tall Seat issues
I'm struggling off road with my 2002 600E, as I can only place one foot at a time on the floor.
I'm too verticaly challenged to get both down together.
It's not a problem most of the time, but when I get stopped on something steep and slippy, where it's hard to get momentum up again, I really struggle, and generaly end up dropping the bike.
Sitting on the bike without a saddle on, makes it just the right size. Now I'm not too fussed about comfort, so I'm planning to cut the seat foam down. (Maybe I'll add a layer of memory foam or something to help).
Looking at the seat base, it's pretty concave, so I'm not sure how much better it will be. As with so many things though, an inch or so will make quite a difference to me.
Anyone had the seat cover off, perhaps to recover it, or to repair? How much foam is there under there?
Thanks in advance for your help.
