The SELLE DALLA VALLE Factory seat cover is designed for KTM EXC 250, EXC 300, EXCF 250, EXCF 350, EXCF 450, EXCF 500, SX 125, SX 150, SX 250, SXF 250, SXF 350, SXF 450, XC 250, XC 300, XCF 250, XCF 350, XCF 450, XCW 125, XCW 150, XCW 250, XCW 300 from 2016 to 2019. Worn, torn or gone smooth, the cover lets water soak into the foam, which gets heavier and breaks down. A new cover gives the rider back their grip and protects the foam for longer.

Choosing the colour

The colour changes neither grip nor fitting: pick it to match your bike's graphics.

When to replace it?

• Cover split, coming unstitched or holed: water gets into the foam.
• Surface gone smooth: you slide back under acceleration.
• Foam that stays damp after washing.
• New graphics: a colour to match the plastics.

Replace the cover as soon as it splits or comes unstitched: waterlogged foam compresses and breaks down from the inside. Check that it fits your model and its years: the shape of the seat changes from one generation to the next.

Fitting tips

1. Remove the seat and pull out the old cover's staples with pliers or a thin screwdriver, without damaging the foam.
2. Take the opportunity to check the seat foam: if it's compressed or torn, replace it.
3. Centre the new cover and staple it first in the middle at the front and rear, then along the sides, stretching the material gradually.
4. Put a staple every 2 to 3 cm; if needed, warm the cover slightly with a heat gun to shape it without wrinkles.
5. Trim off the excess material and refit the seat.

Frequently asked questions

What tools do I need?
A heavy-duty stapler (manual or pneumatic) and short stainless steel staples, which won't rust with washing.

Is the cover waterproof?
In good condition it stops water getting in from the top, but water can still get in through the staples and the underside of the seat. Let the seat dry after washing.
