Product Information

Full details

The Acerbis X-Seat Complete Hard Seat is designed specifically for off-road enthusiasts and competitive riders looking for a performance-oriented upgrade for their Yamaha YZF450 (2010-2013). This seat offers the key benefit of extreme durability and 100% water resistance due to its innovative waterproof foam construction, though riders should note that the 'Hard' construction provides a firmer feel than traditional foam-only OEM seats.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this seat softer than the stock Yamaha seat?

No, the X-Seat is a 'Hard' model, which means it uses firm, high-density foam designed for performance and rider feedback rather than comfort.

Does it come with mounting hardware?

The X-Seat uses the existing hardware from your bike, as it is designed to be a direct factory replacement.

Can I use this on a 2014 YZF450?

No, the fitment is specifically engineered for the 2010-2013 frame and tank geometry.

How do I clean the grip surface?

Use a soft brush and water to scrub the anti-slip material. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the grip texture.

Is the foam replaceable if damaged?

The X-Seat is sold as a complete, unified assembly; the inner foam is integrated into the shell construction.

Does it add weight to the bike?

The seat is designed to be lightweight and, because it is waterproof, it remains lighter than stock seats that tend to absorb water during use.

Troubleshooting

Seat does not sit flush against the fuel tank

Ensure the front tongue of the seat is fully inserted into the fuel tank bracket before attempting to bolt down the rear.

Hardware holes do not align

Verify that your bike is a 2010-2013 YZF450 model and check that the subframe has not been bent from previous impacts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely waterproof construction prevents weight gain from water logging
  • Provides excellent bike feedback and rider grip
  • Extensively tested by professional racing teams
  • Direct fit for OEM fuel tanks and fairings

Cons

  • Firm 'hard' seat feel may require adjustment for riders used to soft foam
  • Specific to 2010-2013 Yamaha YZF450 models only
  • Does not include integrated storage compartments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Acerbis X-Seat is a simple plug-and-play process. Because it is a complete seat assembly, there is no need for stapling covers or sourcing replacement foam.

  1. Remove the existing seat by unbolting the rear mounting points.
  2. Slide the front of the X-Seat into the fuel tank bracket.
  3. Align the rear bolt holes and secure the seat using the original hardware.

Compatibility is strictly limited to Yamaha YZF450 models from 2010 to 2013. For care, simply wash the seat with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly at close range on the seams to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant seal.
