    Can a low seat owner confirm it is lower

    I've readall the seat posts, but my local dealer assures me the low seat is only lower on the motard and not any lower than a stock hyperstrada seat. Does any one have the low seat on a hyperstrada and is it lower than stock. thanks

    How is the Hyperstrada seat?

    I have a Hypermotard SP which is an absolute blast in for aggressive riding. I do a bit of highway riding though, and the stock seat is very hard. It has a nice shape, but has very little cushion. How is the Hyperstrada seat for longer rides? I am getting sore after just 1 hour. I am looking...

    seat attachment

    I recently bought a 2013 Hyperstrada and am having a hard time getting the tab under the center of the seat to hook under the lip of the frame cross member as shown in the manual. My tab wants to ride on top of the cross member rather than under it. Does anyone know the technique to get it...

    How do you strap a seat bag on??

    Hey guys, I tried installing my rear seat bag today and couldn't figure out how the heck to do it and I ended up just looping the straps through the 4 loops that come out of the bottom rear of the seat and wrapping the excess cord around the rear grab handles. I was in a rush and had to get to...

    Seat Movement

    Wondering if anyone experiencing this issue - my seat has started moving enough during rides that it comes off the front spindle posts. Usually just one side comes off and then I can feel it rubbing against the post as it moves slightly, usually a felt clicking noise. Think it's an easy...

    Anyone with the lower or touring seat?

    I am wondering if the pan is lowered enough that you can no longer fit the small tool bag to the bottom of the seat. Can the DP alarm still fit? I want to add a fusebox under thee seat right on top of the ECU and am wondering if the lower seats affect the clearance. TIA, Eric

    Hypermotard stock seat, comfortable?

    Yesterday I finally saw a 2013 Hypermotard in person and had a chance to sit on it. Unfortunatelly no test ride yet. It's the first unit and currently the only unit at the dealership. They won't have Hyperstrada until August or September. Anyway, I sat on the Motard and even though I can't...

    3 Seat Heights?

    I keep hearing contradictory information regarding the 3 seat heights. My dealer told me there is not a lower version, just different seats, but that does not give a seat height of 810 or 31.9 inches. Does anyone know of a Hyperstrada that has a 31.9 inch seat height and if so, what is the...

    Hyperstrada fuel consumption/seat comfort

    Would some of you lucky new owners be prepared to give us some ideas on your fuel consumption so far? Ideally km/ L, or L per 100km, which is how we work Down Here! And - some early reports suggested that the seat tends to push the rider too far forward onto the tank, leading to the effect...

    seat height

    Hi Spoke to local dealer this week about delivery of my hyperstrada and questioned him about the 3 seat heights listed for the bike. He told me that there are 2 hyperstrada models, the standard one and a special order low one. The low one is the one to go for if you want the 810mm seat...

    Can Seat level on the SP be lowered?

    Let's say around 2 inches. Suspension + a different seat = SPStrada

    Seat heights and luggage system

    I note that three (3) seat heights are specified. Does this mean that the one seat is adjustable to three different height settings, or does it imply three different seat options. Obviously, I hope the former! Next, in some pix I have noted a tubular strut or bracket (cannot think of a...
