Seat Adjustments

Standard Seat Positioning

Front Axle to Lip of Seat – 625mm – Measure the right side of seat for this measurement. As every seat is not exactly the same mold, if you set both sides identical measurement typically the seat would sit in the gokart looking as if it is crooked. Once you have your measurement then just make sure the seat is square between the seat strut uprights.

Rear Axle to Top Lip of Seat – 195mm – For the standard size driver this is a good position giving the rear of the kart good balance.

Bottom of Frame to Bottom of Seat – 10mm – Utilizing a flat object across the bottom of your chassis frame, start off using 2 sprockets under the seat to achieve the desired measurement for seat height.

Decreased Rear Grip Seat Positioning

Front Axle to Lip of Seat – 615mm -Moving the seat closer to the front axle will take more weight away from the rear of the chassis and distribute towards the front end. Thus giving you a greater front end grip / less rear end grip.

Rear Axle to Top Lip of Seat – This measurement will vary depending on your seat adjustment. Try to keep the seat as level as possible when moving forward/backward or up/down so that the bottom of seat stays level.

Bottom of Frame to Bottom of Seat – 15mm -Raising the bottom of the seat higher up will increase the driver’s center of gravity in the kart allowing for an increase in weight transfer.

Increased Rear Grip Seat Positioning

Front Axle to Lip of Seat – 635mm -Moving the seat closer to the rear axle will add more weight towards the rear of the chassis. This will help give you an increased rear weight ratio therefore adding grip to the rear of the chassis.
