Seat upgrade for YY250T? By dannytroy (Read 468 times)

I installed gel pads on my prior scooters, but see that doing the upgrade on the YY250T might be more difficult, since it has the  multi-level feature.   Has anyone done a mod to this seat?

Funny, exactly where the most padding is needed, is where the padding is the thinnest on this scooter.  It looks great, but isn't very functional, especially when you're a 63 year old rider!

I already finished the job and I have to say it came out pretty nice.  I'd post a photo, but all you would see is a photo of the seat, cause it looks the same as before the gel installation.

I used the entire piece, and it fit nicely.  I let it go under the bolt on backrest by about an inch or so.  I tend to sit back with my lower back resting on the backrest, so I definitely wanted the gel there.

I used the included smoothing foam, and I'd spray some contact cement before installing the foam.  Cut the foam first to get the size, before you use the contact cement.  The edge of the foam can be slightly seen when completed, so you may want to have it go to the edge of the seat, or where there is a seam.

You only have to remove the existing cover as far back as you want to install the new gel.  No need to take the entire cover off.

There are good videos on YouTube describing the installation, but it's really not a hard job.  The hardest part is stapling the new seat on, unless you have a pneumatic staple gun, which is highly recommended.  You can use a small compressor and it will do the job.  Harbor Freight (in the US) has a small 3 gallon compressor for not too many $$$, and that's what I used for this job.  Works great.  I bought the stapler on Amazon, and went by the good reviews.

Anyway, here's the link to the exact gel I bought: www.ebay.com/itm/321116197573?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Now I just have to wait for dry weather to take it for a test ride, but I'm sure it will be a lot better than stock.
