Uma UTECH Laser Iridium Spark Plug
High-performance ignition component designed for riders who want more.
The UMA Racing Seat for the Yamaha NMAX V2 (2020–Present) is a high-performance ergonomic upgrade that addresses the most common complaint about the NMAX: the “slippery” and somewhat flat stock seat.
This seat is designed to provide a more “tucked-in” riding position, which is essential for maintaining control if you have modified your NMAX with a 63mm Big Bore kit or a high-speed CVT setup.
Key Features
-
Ergonomic “Step-Up” Design: The seat features a distinct elevation between the rider and pillion areas. This acts as a backrest for the rider, preventing you from sliding backward during sudden acceleration.
-
Anti-Slip Texture: Made with a specialized high-grip synthetic material. This ensures that even in wet weather or when wearing technical riding gear, your seating position remains locked.
-
High-Density Memory Foam: Unlike cheap aftermarket “slim” seats that offer no cushion, UMA uses high-density foam that provides better support for long-distance touring while maintaining a slim, sporty silhouette.
-
Carbon-Look Accents: The seat often features carbon-fiber-styled panels and premium red or white stitching, instantly giving the NMAX a more aggressive “Racing” aesthetic.
-
Direct Bolt-on: No modification to the chassis is required. It uses the factory mounting points and is compatible with the NMAX V2’s seat hinge and locking mechanism.

Why choose UMA over a custom “Cobra” seat?
-
Waterproofing: Many custom-made upholstery seats (like the “Cobra” or “Dragon” styles) can leak through the stitching when it rains. UMA seats are factory-sealed to prevent the foam from becoming a “sponge” after a storm.
-
U-Box Integrity: UMA maintains the internal clearance required for the NMAX’s under-seat storage. You won’t lose the ability to store your helmet or tools.
-
Stability: The rigid base prevents the seat from “flexing” when you lean the bike over, providing a more stable feedback loop between the rider and the chassis.
Installation Note
When swapping the seat, you will need to transfer the rubber bumpers and the metal hinge bracket from your stock NMAX seat. Ensure the locking latch clicks firmly; sometimes a slight adjustment of the lock-pin is needed to ensure the electronic seat-pop functions smoothly.
