Product Information

Full details

This guide is for Gas Gas EC250 owners seeking an upgraded seat for improved control and durability. The key benefit is enhanced rider grip and a high-quality, waterproof construction. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, the cover is not completely watertight. This complete seat features dimensions identical to the OEM seat, ensuring a perfect fit, and is constructed with rigid polyurethane foam for a lighter, more waterproof, and durable solution compared to standard foams. The non-slip cover and waterproof seams are designed for demanding off-road use.

FAQs

Is this seat compatible with all Gas Gas EC250 models?

This seat is designed for specific Gas Gas EC250 models. Please verify the exact model and year compatibility before purchasing.

Do I need to reuse my old seat hardware?

Yes, you will typically need to transfer the mounting brackets and hardware from your original OEM seat to the Blackbird seat for proper installation.

How does the foam differ from a standard OEM seat?

The Blackbird seat uses rigid polyurethane foam with a closed-cell structure. This makes it lighter, more waterproof, and more durable than standard OEM foam, offering better support and longevity.

Will the non-slip cover wear out quickly?

The cover is made from high-quality, race-spec non-slip materials designed for durability and wear resistance in off-road conditions. The microinjection patch further enhances longevity.

Can I leave the bike out in the rain with this seat?

The seat cover is water-resistant and the seams are waterproof, offering good protection. However, it is not completely watertight, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion is not recommended. It's best to allow the seat to dry if it gets wet.

Is the foam overly hard for long rides?

The rigid polyurethane foam provides firm support, which is beneficial for control during off-road riding. While firmer than some OEM seats, riders generally find it provides excellent support without excessive discomfort for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Seat does not fit properly.

Double-check that you have the correct Blackbird seat model for your specific Gas Gas EC250 year. Ensure no OEM hardware is obstructing the fitment.

Slipping on the seat during aggressive riding.

Ensure the seat cover is clean and free from dirt, mud, or oil, which can reduce its non-slip properties. Verify the seat is securely mounted to the bike.

Water seeping through seams after washing or heavy rain.

While seams are waterproof, extreme pressure or prolonged submersion might lead to minor seepage. Allow the seat to dry completely. For persistent issues, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This complete seat is designed to directly replace the OEM seat on your Gas Gas EC250. Installation typically involves removing the original seat and mounting the Blackbird seat in its place. You may need to transfer existing seat mounting hardware and brackets from your old seat to the new one. Ensure all mounting points are secure before riding.

Compatibility: This seat is specifically designed for the Gas Gas EC250 model. Please verify the model year compatibility if you have an older or newer version of the EC250.

Care: To maintain the seat's condition and performance:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the seat cover. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the non-slip material.
  2. Drying: If the seat becomes wet, allow it to air dry thoroughly. While the cover is water-resistant and seams are waterproof, prolonged saturation should be avoided.
  3. Storage: Store the motorcycle in a location protected from extreme weather conditions when possible to prolong the life of the seat cover.
