Easy, remove it, turn it over and using the tools that come with the bike (Socket and allen key for leverage) you undo the 4 spacers and turn them the other way. You also need to move the catch.

You can observe the Low/High L/H indicators.

Catch is set to H "high position" in pic below.

Once in the low position, you will notice about an inch gap between top of seat and tank as below, which will allow you to visually tell where it is now. Mine was set to high as default and for me with 32" inside leg is much better in the low position.

 

Many thanks and now for a couple of stupid questions :-
1.) Do you simply loosen/remove the central nut and rotate the spacer unit 180 degrees ?
2.) In the 2nd photo, the position arrow points to a Low spacer in the upper image but a High spacer in the lower image. Should these not be the same ?

My seat currently has the gap that you show. Assuming that I return it to the High position, then presumably this gap will disappear ?
Thanks once again.

 

Yes the gap will dissapear.

You are correct with the indicators, I am merely trying to show the two different possible positions in that pic. From memory the one ms at the front are turned upside down and yawed through 180 degrees (the one showing both fitment positions) the other location at the rear, is just turneded through 180 deg. Don’t forgot to move the retaining bracket also at the front. It will be very apparent when you start with the help of the above.

 

Thank you once again. I tried to follow your instructions but, with the rear 2 spacer units on the high setting, it was not possible to locate and secure the 2 fixing pins.I have, therefore, left these onthe low setting but adjusted the 2 front spacer units (& the retaining bracket) to the high setting. This appears to work but doesn't 'feel' right.
See photos.
Apologies for being a pain.........!

 

Just to be clear, the photos show the position when the rear spacers are on the high setting.

 

Are you sure the front metal bracket is in the high position "H" showing in the window.

Failing that, perhaps the metal bracket at the rear needs flipping also? I don't recall doing this but maybe I did. Mine was going the other way from high to low height, so I would have the opposite problem to you, perhaps I need to flip mine!

 

Thanks. The front metal bracket is definitely in the correct H position but I will have a look to see whether the rear metal bracket can/should also be flipped. It seems odd that this type of obvious adjustment is not mentioned in the 200 page owner's manual - classic MV logic...........

 

Actually not, classic KTM/Pierer Mobility influenced rubbish imho. I think this is the only model affected by their nonsense and I was quite vocal about it at the time. A move in the wrong direction. MV have always been well known for their excellent manuals and literature.

I didn't even get a printed manual with mine, had to download it after signing away my life to various Austrian platforms. An absolute slap in the face. Other KTM influenced nonsense is the keyless ignition and fuel flap and questionable quality switchgear, not a fan of all that, seems this was the only model they had any influence on. On the flip side, they did bring a wealth of adv bike experience which hopefully helped to improve the bike overall, though I think they stopped short in a couple of other areas too.

 

You're correct : I should direct my irritation and frustration towards KTM/Pierer Mobility. I also share your dislike of the keyless ignition, the random nature of the fuel cap closure and the ridiculously flappy horn button. Thank goodness the bike is great to ride..........
The good news is that I have finally adjusted the seat height - the metal bracket containing the 2 fixing pins also needs to be flipped so now everything lines up. Hopefully it will stop raining for long enough over the weekend for me to give it a try ?
Thanks again for your help.
