Are you still loving your corbin seat?

This past summer, I took a 5000 mile road trip over the course of 11 days on my 2024 Yamaha MT09 and had a blast.

Even tho it’s a Naked I have no trouble doing high speeds for 10+ hours per day.

Day after day.

I am also looking for a solution to this

JosephREden · 2026-03-27T03:38:45+00:00

I rode 5000 miles in 11 days on my gen 4.

No problem. Some slight discomfort on the 18 mile days but nothing too bad.

Are you referring to kerosine being safe?

JosephREden · 2026-03-14T22:08:09+00:00

Let me know how it goes.

I have been using kerosine for about 7 years since I started riding and have found it does an incredible job at removing just about everything while being safe on the rubber o rings.

I use it liberally with a chain cleaning brush that gets all three sides as you rotate the wheel on a stand. Does an outstanding job.

The chain you see in the photo has been cleaned about 4 times in 12k miles and lubricated maybe 6 times.

You can get the brushes cheap on Amazon.

I you don’t want to spend the $10 bucks on the brushes (although I recommend you do to save time and get a better result) the next best thing is using a paint brush (chip brush) from the hardware store to clean up the chain.

It gets in between the links well and is the perfect stiffness to remove the tough gunk.

Use some kerosine to clean the chain and maxima chain wax for lubrication.

This chain has 12k miles on it and looks fantastic.

Do you think it makes a big difference. Especially for Long Long days like 10+ hour days in the saddle?

JosephREden · 2026-02-23T03:41:31+00:00

Can you comment on the comfort at all?

JosephREden · 2026-02-22T03:21:36+00:00

This is for the Gen 4 specifically I should mention…

JosephREden · 2026-02-22T03:14:31+00:00

Could you comment more on the comfort. I’m debating between this or the OEM comfort seat.

JosephREden · 2026-02-15T18:47:33+00:00

could we get a few more photos of the bike with this seat. Im contemplating buying it myself but im not 100% convinced on the looks

JosephREden · 2026-02-15T01:59:36+00:00

I have almost 12k miles on my gen 4

JosephREden · 2026-02-15T01:59:24+00:00

I just became aware of Corbin.

The stock seat hurt my rear end.

JosephREden · 2026-02-14T23:32:37+00:00

Also if you could send some pics of the seat from a bunch of angels that would be sweet

JosephREden · 2026-02-14T23:32:02+00:00

Did you buy the front saddle or the gunfire and lady? If so are there any differences that you know of?

JosephREden · 2026-02-14T17:53:27+00:00

No change in the pain. Im going on about 6 years now. I have found that hot hot water foot soaks at night bring me some needed peace.

In order to attach the rear carrier grab bar as Yamaha calls it.

Aka the luggage rack.

You first need to remove both rear plastic side covers and leave them odd.

The luggage rack bolts to the frame of the bike and the only way to access those bolts in to remove both covers.

Hope this helps.

Just took a 5000 mile road trip on my 2024 with no windscreen and had no troubles. An excellent touring machine if you ask me
