Comfort Seat - Proof as standard equipment

[jeepinoutwest]

Hey Folks, my 2009 FZ6 did not come with the "comfort seat". I was under the impression that it was standard equipment for 2009. Can anyone point me to documentation that says so. The Yamaha web site no longer lists it as standard but I could swear it used to.

Only in European version. US version, it is still optional. Sorry.

why does OP have FZ6 "R" in his profile?

Good question. My answers was based on one without the "R", but, I think it still applies.

Thanks for the headsup on the goof in my profile and thanks for the info that the comfort seat is europe only. This is my baby.

Yep, that's my seat on my 2009. You're not losing your mind. It used to be on the website and now it's not. It is comfortable though.

In the UK, the 2009 bikes have the silver frame as well as comfort seat and ABS (which also came with the 2008). Damn the seat looks sexy on them! Of course, it costs several hundred pounds more than the 2008 too!

I have a 2009, no comfort seat came with the bike. (US)

Mine did not come w/comfort seat either. I had initially thought the comfort seat was one of the changes for "09 as stated on the website (I kept looking at the seat thinking I maybe the seat had been switched, but I had no referrence). I purchased the Yamaha Gel seat, though haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

What was the cost, of the OEM Gel seat?

Got it new off ebay - $169 + free shipping.

Don't waste your money on the "Comfort" seat - Send your stock seat to Spencer Page 1 and have it reworked. My dealer let me try a "Comfort" seat for a week and I couldn't tell any real difference other that the gel retained the sun's heat and stayed hot for most of my commute. The seat modded by Spencer was a night and day difference. Better in all aspects - Supercore material is superior to any gel seat. Total cost with shipping was $115.00.
