Removing/replacing CE 04 heated comfort seat?

[triangletom]

Has anyone removed or replaced the CE 04 Comfort Seat with heating elements installed? I'm considering swapping my seat out for the Comfort 2 model, but was concerned about this note:

> Only the comfort seats (when ordered ex works) have seat heating.

It made me worried that if I ordered a Comfort 2 seat that it wouldn't be easy to setup the heating for, but I can't imagine it being more complicated than connecting some wires.

Hi triangletom
I would check with the dealer maybe you need a separate command to put them on the right hand command just above the heat grip bottom, and that why it need the factory installation.

Me again just check the manual and it's one bottom for both the hand and seat sorry for my mistake.

Hi sir,
I am not sure it`s same in US but in Turkey we have 6 different model of seats.
3 with heating 3 without heating.
So if your existing seat has heat system set up & cables etc, and your order is the heating model thats all fine,
however if your order is not the heat system one, then please change it cos it wont fit that.

Other than that, If its all good after order, let me know so I can share a video with you for DIY.

@triangletom I’m in the US and replaced my stock heated seat with the “2” model because I have long legs. It was simple to do and disconnect/reconnect wiring for heating. The 2 model has made the CE04 a little more comfortable for me.

Related to seats though, there should seriously be a recall and replacement. They degrade terribly in any kind of heat or sun. So stupid.

I have a heated black and gray pro/comfort 1 seat that I would love to trade for a heated comfort 2 seat. In case anyone out there is in the opposite issue as I am

What are the part numbers for the various seats, or where can I find them? I am also tall, and the best seating place is on top of the little triangular bump.

Hi everyone on a Facebook page a lot of French people had the same problem with there seats and they did have a replacement under warranty because of the fabric who is not handling well the temperature. So I would check with the dealer to get free replacement.

If you then click on the individual seat links, you can find a part number.

Here’s one from another site here in Europe:

A point to note is that there doesn’t seem to be much consistency in the naming of the products across different sites – doesn’t help. Delving into the description is necessary, I think!

FWIW at 5’10” I also found myself sitting on the hump on the original Comfort Seat of the demo bike I rode. When I bought my bike I made sure it had the Comfort Seat II, and found it about right. If I was longer than the 32” inside leg I am, I think I would end up going for the seat that is just a flat bench.

Interestingly the CE 04 Definition prototype had a movable hump:



Maybe that was a better idea?
