RACETECH Seat Foam standard height for KTM EXC, EXCF, SX, XCW 2016-2019

The RACETECH hauteur standard R-SPUKTM10016 seat foam is designed for KTM EXC 200, EXC 250, EXC 300, EXC 400, EXC 525, EXCF 250, EXCF 350, EXCF 450, EXCF 500, SX 125, SX 150, SX 250, XCW 125, XCW 150, XCW 250, XCW 300, XCW 450, XCW 500 from 2016 to 2019. The seat foam absorbs bumps when you're sitting down and gives the seat its shape. Over the hours it compresses, hollows out where you sit and soaks up water: the seat becomes uncomfortable and your position on the bike changes.

Specifications

• Brand: RACETECH
• Manufacturer part number: R-SPUKTM10016
• EAN code: 8057094158102

When to replace it?

• Seat hollowed out: you can feel the seat base when sitting down.
• Foam waterlogged, crumbling or smelly.
• Seat lower than stock, riding position altered.
• Tall rider bothered by the stock height.

Replace the foam when it's compressed or waterlogged, ideally at the same time as the cover. The height is given in the name: standard to get back the stock seat, tall (+10 or +15 mm depending on the model) for a tall rider or one who prefers a higher position.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the seat, then take out the staples and the cover.
2. Remove the old foam, clean the base and check that it isn't cracked.
3. Fit the new foam squarely on the base; a little spray adhesive on the base stops it moving.
4. Staple on a new or good-condition seat cover, pulled tight, working from the centre out to the ends.

Frequently asked questions

Does a tall foam change the seat height?
Yes, by the amount given in the name. Make sure you can still put a foot down confidently, especially in enduro.

Can I keep my cover?
If it's in good condition, yes. On a tall foam the original cover may be a tight fit: a new cover is easier to stretch into place.
