Has anyone had this problem before, I noticed today my new Suzuki S83 seat has soaked up the last few days rain, if I push down on it water cascades out the bottom edge and along the tops seams. Bugger:sick:
I'll take it in to Wgtn Motorcyles 2moro and tell them i need a new replacement seat, there is no visible holes or tears and it didn't happen to the previous Suzuki S40 or for that matter any other bike I've owned.
I just hope i don't get the "it's just one of things that happen" reply from the shop, which i get when I complain about the squeeling brake pads.:argue:

thats where i was heading...

seriously though, that sucks as it will have a metal stuff in it that will have already started rusting - perhaps it wil be a redish brown colour soon - point that out to the bike shop.

Yeah thanks for that, I noticed the water left quite a mark as it splashed the hot exhaust so it probably isn't clear. I'm not talking a drip or two it literally pored out when I squeezed the seat.
