Hi there,

can someone send me some pictures of your Seat. I do have a Seat here, but it seems to be wrong and doesn't fit....
From above and below would be great and will be appreciated! With the pictures i will know what i have to search for (or find a solution with the seat i allready own)

Thanks and best Regards from Switzerland,

michael

Hello from the UK, Michael.

Have a look at my post #2 on the thread below.

New seat cover - Vintage Enduro Discussions (yamaha-enduros.com)

HOWEVER! This is for a US seat, part number 498-24710. If yours is an original European bike, then it would have been fitted with a slightly longer seat (with a strap), part number 456-24730. Still, my photos might show the detail that you're after.

I believe that the 1974 to 1976 DT250, 360 and 400 all used the same seats in their respective markets.

thank you for the link.
I think it must be the european Version of the dt250a.

i try to share some pictures of the Seat:

As you can see, the assembly on the frame is 19 cm and the two Hinges of the Seat have 21 cm


 

19cm is correct.

I don't know if it helps, but this looks like your wrong seat. Leboncoin is a French selling site, often with great bargains listed.

If you're happy to go with a single seat, for the time being at least, then this is currently for sale in the US.

Thanks!

Yes i'm pretty sure that i have the wrong seat...!

The Seat in France might work.

But the Owner sais, it comes from the Model DT125 19F (witch i can't find in cmsnl.com...)

Do you know if the seat of the DT125 19F Model fits my DT250A 1974?

NO!

I meant that the seat in France looks like the one that you already have - I was trying to help you identify it!

Translation issues, I guess.

Who knows the Texavina seats? Have you had any good experiences with it?

From what I've seen and heard, the seats from Vietnam are a mixed bag.

More expensive, but KDI in the US make a replica of the (shorter than European) US seat. See link below, and there is also a link to their site on the right hand side of this page, just in case you want/need anything else at the same time.

Hello, i wanna let you know that i ordered a seat from texavina

texavina.com/yamaha-dt250-dt360-dt400-19...at-saddle-sku-l2027/

the shipping to switzerland is way more easy than shipping from the U.S. to switzerland.

hopefully the quality is right. i will let you know as soon as the seat is here and installed.

greetings

Thanks.

Yes, please report back on how it fits and feels.
