Seat Concepts Seat Review a decade later.
Back in 2011 offroadexplorer.com turned the Yamaha WR250R into a lightweight adventure bike. To make the transformation the ORE Team fitted a 14 litre Safari tank, designed a custom rally style fairing and fitted a Seat Concepts low seat.
The Seat Concepts dual-sport & adventure seat kits incorporate a wider seating area for the rider, which results in a more even weight distribution while reducing pressure points.
The result is a seat more suited to big kilometres and a more respectable seat height for those with a shorter in step.

I'm at 30000 miles still factory plugs 😢
Once I complete this, I’m gonna get the tattoo of it across my chest
Adam Reiman and his mate completely flooded a t7 in a river, they didnt take out the spark plugs, they just lifted up the bike and drained out the air filter. Then rode away...t7's are awesome.
what weight does it have?
Read the fine print. Once they have your money, don't expect your seat for a couple months. Maybe your fortunate to have a longer riding season.
Perhaps you're right. Seat Concepts have a huge range of seats which are all handmade. Production runs of foam elements and the availability of seat pans from OEM manufacturers can cause delays. However, distributors such as Adventure Moto in Australia will order the seat and you don't have to pay until the seat arrives.
Seat pan... Are you kidding? For $260 dollars you get a cover that you have to install on your existing OEM seat.
Do you know if these are compatible with heated grips?
Yes, I have Whites Power Products heated grips fitted. If you look at the closeup of the title image you can see a plastic spacer which puts pressure against the throttle tube, not the rubber grip, to hold it in position. Most kaoko kits come with a couple of spacers. This kit is specifically for Teneres fitted with Barkbuster Handguards. Apologies for the late reply but been OS for 3 weeks..
I only hear good things about the Seat Concept seats, sadly living so far from the USA makes nearly impossible to get it here in Bolivia. Great video Offroadxplorer!
I met the guys from Seat Concepts almost ten years ago. Great bunch of guys. Send them an email and they may be able to help you and ship to you what you need.
Looks a good investment Lance and yes makes a lot of sense on those long haul rides 👍👍👍
Have a 2004 drz 250 motor got messed up ,so I put an apollo m250 motor in it ,let me tell u ,the bike is amazing, the motor gives it the power it needs ,one hell of a trail bike now and a good hill climber ,it's now my main trail riding machine ,I named her Betsy
Another one who doesn't know what model he's got....That's a XT660Z.... And before some mug says "so what ?" you wait till you order parts and you've got the wrong bits..
What a fecking nightmare
GS 😂😂😂
How ofter should i change the plugs does anyone know thanks
this video is not correct. You are putting too many pieces to change spark plugs.
Hi Valter. We got the plugs out and put new spark plugs in. Job done. I'm sure there's always a another way to do everything. If you have a better way we are happy to view your video on the subject. Happy riding.
Love my T7. But.....this is ridiculous. What about shim check & adjustment? What will I replace my T7 with? Maybe I should have kept my XT660!
Yes, I'm miss the simplicity of my xt 660 too....I've changed the right spark plug this morning, the left one will wait for another day, it's terrible to take out the coils....
Is it necessary to use handle end bar to install this hand guard. Kindly suggest.
Depending on the model bike you have. The specific kit you buy for your make and model will be designed to go into the handle bar end and accommodate a handlebar weight if needed.There are Barkbuster handguards that don't require to be connected to the bar end,
I usually look for oil and filters servicing, spark plugs, and somo other usual things, that plays a very important part of my decision when i change my bike, brands should look easy of manteinance too... I'm going to take a look to the new transalp, gs750 and 790...
Respect
I'm so so glad I found your video gents. Clear concise and well filmed. Based on what I have seen I will not be buying a Tenere.
Hmmm...no torque wrench? Otherwise great video
Yeah I've never had hand guards line up that easy.
No need to remove the radiator my friend.
What about the rear wheel to make the bike lighter to work on? 🤣🤣
14:36 that's what she said.
That’s ridiculous
Wow a ton of work to remove sparkplugs, had I know I might not have bought the T7 coming from a boxer GS where sparplug removal takes about 2 min - but then again the T 7 is such a joy it might just be worth it ;-)
Great to see what we missed out on in week 2.
👍👍👍
Don’t get discouraged to get a T7 by watching this , there are better and easier ways to do this , just search T7 spark plug mod . This is great video but not something you wanna do on the side of the road
I though on buying a T7, but since I live in a remote area and I must do my bike maintenance, after watching the video I've decided that I better keep my KLR. This is a job I never want to do.
Deh-Brie , or. Duh-Brie? 🤔
You convinced me to get a Moto Guzzi V7 czcams.com/video/aqMOXV9PcIM/video.html&ab_channel=JohnVerburg
Can you imagine dropping your bike in the river? OMG.
They are such a B$#ch to de water on the track. Just doing now. 😪😜
Thanks Dave for those kind words , it’s was clubby that inspired me to go for it :):) and Lance was my wingman on the side :):)
I'll take a 1200GS Air Head any day thanks!!!!!!!
Enjoyed this ride so much i moved to Tas !! only regret is i wish i had moved here earlier :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very well presented video. Loved it. Nice to see the Spirit of Tas was “Excited to see us” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice one 👍 And yes we do have some good roads here, sealed and unsealed. Keep up the great work.
Thanks! 😃
Why so much gear when your staying in accommodation? Seems pointless and just causing you more riding problems and fuel drain
Terribile🙄
Nice stickers and colours.
i like adventure
Appreciate the video, nonetheless this is absolutely ridiculous 🙄 Not a fan at all.. you guys at Yamaha should re-watch this. I honestly don't know if I'll get the Tenere .. I might wait for the Honda. Just saying 😌 🤷 !!
I've been of the firm opinion that hand-guards (barkbusters) are stupid. That was until yesterday. Navigating a narrow and heavily overgrown trail a large piece of some plant went and applied my breaks for me. This caused me to grab the throttle and then do an accidental wheelie. My bark-busters are coming today.
oh my god that's so much effort ?
Great Job Me Aussie Cuzzins! Thanks From a Texan Tenere Owner!!!
MOTOCICLETA É VIDA YAMAHA XT 1200 MUITO MAIS
that's really stupid design...
Great video, very comprehensive. What's the make of tail rack on the bike? Very neat.

You can replace both plugs from the right of the bike by removing the plastic bit holding the wire harness, zip tie that out of the way and use two universal joints to reach down to the plugs. Don’t even need to remove the tank after the plastic bit is discarded (eg the second time you replace the plugs you only need to remove right fairing and have the right tool)
The #1 cylinder coil will NOT come out without moving the ABS pump out of the way
Fook I hope I never have to dewater this thing track side.....
