Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

As anyone with a TRX will know, the bum pads (the seat pad between the rider's seat and pillion seat) wear out pretty quickly. Is there anyone out there that sells replacement ones or do pads off another model (such as YZFs) fit?

They have one thats 4cm thicker (for us short guy´s with not so big a**es!) I have it and it´s really nice!!

Never seen an aftermarket job, but the stocker is really nothing more than a flat plate, two bolts and a piece of sponge molded over it. Wouldn't be too hard to make or have covered.

However, if you wear it out... I suppose that could say something about the size of your bum...

I had mine recovered by a place that covers bike seats. Looks better than stock IMHO, for half the price of a new one (still available from Yamaha).

Turns out that they are still available from Yamaha at the hefty price of $138 AUD

And yes Max, maybe it does say something about the size of my bum

You didn't specify Burty. Was it your pad you had recovered or your bum?

The only item that spoils mine is the worn out seat pad. Only four thousand miles and the seat pad is worn through the fake leather coating. I've sanded hte seat back to the foam, which took seconds, and sprayed with AutoGlym black dye spray paint. Looks ok but not sure how long it will last.

When I last enquired from Mr. Yamaha it was about £70
