oem ymaha gel seat less comfortable than standard seat?

[fazer.rider]

so i bought a used gel seat. it's heavier but seems like it's not any more comfortable than the standard seat. could just be in my head but can someone else attest to this? the gel seat feels "harder".

There are other threads on seats with differing comments.

I also did the same as you, and found about the same. The Gel seat was not a significant improvement. In fact, the Gel seat pushes me forward more which I don't like as it crunches my nads. I need a flatter seat.

I'm sure it depends a lot on the type pf riding you do for what type of seat individuals prefer.

Spending more that $200 for a seat is not an option for me. So I think I'm going to try some hand sculpting.
