We all love a long day in the saddle, especially when it comes time for a roadtrip, cross-country ride or Iron Butt attempt, but a sore butt can put a damper on the fun. I've got some strategies to help keep your butt from getting sore from tips and tricks to seat covers and pads. Even with an aftermarket seat, these ideas can help you be even more comfortable on your next motorcycle adventure.

This might sound a little weird, but I'm a hairy dude. Every Spring I trim up the backs of my thighs and my butt ... anything that contacts the motorcycle saddle. It's amazing how much better it feels to not have your hair being tugged on by friction all day. It's one of the best ideas I ever came up with and I have successfully been doing this for years. In addition to that, liberal amounts of cornstarch powder keeps my nether regions cool and dry. I also gave up the whitey tightey's long ago and now go with a good quality boxer brief, without any seams between me and the saddle. I never tried the bicycle shorts, but they seem like a pretty good idea. One last thing in my comfy butt arsenal is a wooden bead seat cover. On long tours, I like to attach it to the seat about halfway through each day to change things up. You kind of roll around on those beads and it sort of gives you a butt massage. Cab drivers swear by these things. Ride far .... stay safe !

Over fifty years of riding (far) has taught me that my butt isn’t someone else’s butt. The seat that works for me (rock hard) is torture for those who like soft ‘n cozy. The hardest thing I learned how to do is to pause and stretch BEFORE something hurts.
@mustachemoto
@mustachemoto Месяц назад
That's the key. Not only hard to learn, but hard to remember... especially on a great road or when you're trying to make time.

I like a long, flat seat, like you get on dual sports, old school standards and adventure bikes. Because you can adjust your position front to back and side to side. The worst are dished seats, like on cruisers, which keep your butt locked in one place. Not only does the back of the seat eventually start to hurt my tailbone, but being stuck in a single position for hours leads to cramping and numbness in my legs and back. In my experience the bikes that look most comfortable are often the least comfortable, and vice versa. Give me a sheepskin cover over a nice flat seat and I can ride all day with a smile on my face.
@mustachemoto
@mustachemoto Месяц назад
you're right about that. I actually sometimes sit on the passenger seat on my bike, even though it's stepped up. I just stretch out my arms and back and can get my butt on the back seat for 10 minutes or so and it relieves all the tension.

@@mustachemoto I’m downing sizing to the CF Moto 450mt - two of my superbikes are going to someone much younger than me and I’ll keep my one classic, so back to two bikes in my workshop. When I sat on the 450mt it felt like sinking into my favourite armchair, super comfortable, perfect seat height, feet flat, bars just right and manageable weight.😁

Nice! I'd love to ride one. I've got the R1250GSA and an old DR650. Basically both extremes of the adventure class! Both bikes are a ton of fun, but have totally different riding experiences.

@DianaTheLance
@DianaTheLance Месяц назад
Standing up really makes such a huge difference. I've had 6-8 hour days that were more comfortable than some 3-4 hour days because the 3-4 hour days were all highway and too fast to stand up while the 6-8 hour days had enough low speed stuff that I was able to stand up and move around.
@mustachemoto
@mustachemoto Месяц назад
100% I've found that if you move around in the seat when riding twisties, it makes a huge difference too.

I am laughing pretty good at the last part of your video. Hilarious. Nicely done! On point, as an avid bicyclist, 90% gravel roads, I wear padded bike shorts all the time. It never dawned on me to wear them on my motorcycle. I've only worn loose shorts over the padded bike shorts (no way I would ever expose the world to my tightly-clothed intimates), so maybe I will have to give this a try with some riding pants. Good call. Now I feel dumb.

@Sasquatch_by_Day-nv3yh Месяц назад
I find the padded shorts get annoying after 10 hours in the saddle, I just go with regular spandex shorts under my riding pants. I haven't worn anything but riding pants over spandex for any rides over 1 hour for 20+ years now, really makes a difference. And never wear jeans, the seams from the back pockets are comfort killers.

I don't know about those off-brand ones, but I bought an Airhawk and it immediately tore at the base of several of the air cells. It was comfortable before that happened, but didn't last more than a few rides. Tried to patch, but the tears are in a crease. It was an early model, I think, so maybe they have it figured out now, thicker rubber might be the key.
@mustachemoto
@mustachemoto Месяц назад
I use this one sporadically and it has lasted just fine. I'm guessing if you left it on all the time--especially sitting out in the sun--it probably wouldn't last forever.

Personally I prefer the lambskin. Anyway, on a long boring straight, lean the bike left but yourself right, sitting just on right side of your butt. Hold for a minute, then switch sides. Works for me most of the time.

You are putting wayyyyyyy to much air in your seat pad. Rule of thumb is less is more, it should not raise your seat height more than an quarter of an inch. One or two puffs of air is all it takes.
