Ducati Lowered Seat Makes A Difference! 

Erica, what did you end up getting?

@@MaxamillionEd a grom :P

instaBlaster...

Appreciate the love. I have plenty of videos lined up. Just need to find time to edit.

It's perfect because you don't have to sacrifice lean handling!

Glad I could help

I'm not 100% sure if the R allows the adjustability like the S

My pleasure 😊

Glad it helped!

Hey, thanks!

Thanks bro. Appreciate the love. I'll definitely be doing some more duc / moto vids. Just bought a Honda monkey to compare with the grom. I alternate between motos and money vids.

Glad this helped!

They're hard to find nowadays but they're out there. check ebay

don't forget the plastic rod in the front of the seat. you have to bring it down to the lower notch

Which year did you end up buying??

Mindy, you want the ducati 20mm lowered seat. Here is the SKU: 96880171A. Just Google it. It's like $250. That's your first step. Next step is to adjust the tension in the spring and make it softer so that your weight can help the bike sag just a little bit more. Those are the two least labor intensive things to do. The final step you can take to get just a few inches more is to get a new spring plate at the rear suspension unit and then adjusting/lowering the front forks. The spring plate is about $150. Every little bit helps. Let me know how it goes!

Maxamillion Ed thank you so much!!! I’m going to check it out. ☺️🙏👍

Get one strong person on each leg, and then 2 more holding your arms. Have them pull as hard as they can, maybe stretch you out 1 or 2 inches. Yeah, it might hurt, but it would be well worth it, lol. Seriously, I'm vertically challenged as well, and it can be frustrating when you love a bike, but you can't safely touch the ground. Good luck!

What bike do you have?

Appreciate it!

27.5

@@MaxamillionEd Exactly like me then. Glad to know that. Getting a supersport is a no no for me. Barely reach my toe on one side and the other side are floating in the air XD

@@MaxamillionEd My inseam is the same too 😂. Can you make a video on yamaha R3? I wonder how comfertable I will be on that. Or maybe if you could make a list video recommending bikes for us. I like sports bikes, I m sure you know more bikes best suited for 27.5 inch inseam. Also, thanks for the videos ❤🔥

google "ducati monster 1200 lowered seat and you'll find some on ebay"

yes, the diavel is 30". I can ride it and i'm youre height.

the Ducati v2 is 33.1 inches, one of the highest i've ever sat on. I need to figure out how I can get my hands on one to do a tutorial on how to lower it but long story short you get a lowering link and swap the stock one out with an adjustable one that can be adjusted on the fly.

You don't need to flat foot. More like one foot down comfortably

@@MaxamillionEd Just picked it up! Is the lowered seat uncomfortable at all?

@@tabobois452 it's not uncomfortable. It's just not as comfortable as the stock seat. After about an hour your ass may start getting a little numb haha

@@MaxamillionEd haha fair enough! I mean that's the perfect time for a break anyways lol

I appreciate the feedback!

There is no built in adjustability on those bikes so you'll have to resort to lowering links. Just always remember that lowering the suspension on the bike can change the dynamics of how it rides.

@@MaxamillionEd thanks bro

Eso lo necesitan Aqui

The lowered seat makes a huge difference. I could've modified the stock seat but I wanted to keep it in case I ever sold the bike.

yes

Yes. I'm 5'1 and ride the monster 1200 no problem

Ok bro

Yes. It's the same seat for 821 and 1200 monsters. It makes a big difference. You sacrifice a little bit of cushion but it's worth it

Maxamillion Ed that sound good. How much is your new seat? It quite difficult to order that seat from my country. Can you send me the link or show that on the description of your video?

I bought it on ebay from a private seller

The 797 doesn't have the built in adjustability that the 821 and 1200 have. So all you can really do is get a lowered seat with less cushion.

ebay has some every now and then. a little difficult to find nowadays

Yes definitely. I'm 156cm. If I can ride it so can you.

How much did you lower it?

@@tuyenbui it’s 20 mm lower now

Gotta look for it on ebay for the best chance to find it. If you Google it some dealers may have inventory

You could have a point! But i've ridden hundreds of miles without the pads and not a single issue

That’s right! There are plastic caps under the seat itself that have to be removed to lower without removing the rubber pads. I wonder if the lower seat have those plastic caps as well.

28 inch

28

To be honest you can, but it's not going to be very comfortable stopping even with the lower seat height. you might want to stick to a small cruiser with a 28" seat height instead.

Haha. Yeah the shifting works but it's those situations when you're on a hill or in a pothole that it gets a little sketchy

yes. I am 5 foot 2 and I can ride it with the lowered seat
