Which seat

[Yellow_shuttle]

Hi,

As my second post in this forum i have recently bought a biz prokart 2006 and while the first practice seesions i enjoyed i was in agany with the seat as well being too small. However when looking at getting a new seat i need some advice as to what stiffness i should go fo stiff, standard or flexible. From the little information i have gathered this has a great effect on the way the chassis behaves and thus the setup and feel of the kart.

Your help and advice is greatle appreciated as i would like to order the seat as soon as possible.

Thanks

YS

Without the ability to try each back to back, it will be pretty hard to determine what your kart "likes" and which suits your style. It is easier to loosen a seat up than tighten it, so I guess I would start on the stiff side. You can loosen a seat up by taking away seat braces, running seat braces loose, and I have even cut slots in a seat bottom to loosen it up. You can stiffen a seat by adding braces, or even strips of fiberglass to the bottoms or sides (hard to do on carbon fibre or plastic seats and pretty messy.)

With a Prokart it doesnt really make such a difference I have found.
