“Hey you? How’s your ass doing on that 2023/2024 Yamaha YZ450F?? Yeah, not great right? My monkey butt has been something fierce ever since I got on this bike. Up until now I had to wear a bicycle type short under my riding pants but now that GUTS Racing came out with a different shape seat for me and my butt, I can ditch the chamois shorts and live monkey butt free!
The GUTS Racing “Wide Top” seat foam is more square than rounded and helps with feel on the bike as well as give your butt more comfort when riding the edges of your seat. With the stock seat, I found myself hitting the seat pan quite a bit under load (squatting into faces of jumps or hitting square edges out of corners) and this gave me pain within an hour or so of ride time. The GUTS Wide Top utilizes that more traditional box type shape which ensures a better/more friendly ride when seated. I am currently using the stock height “Wide Top” but GUTS offers taller foams as well for you Travis Preston types. The GUTS foam will not break down as quickly as the standard YZ450F foam, but I still recommend taking your seat off before you wash your bike! For $99.99 this is a must have if you want to be able to sit on the toilet the next day (after your ride) without cursing and scaring the hell out of your wife! Check it out over on gutsracing.com.
