    Some good old house hold spray n wipe will scrub it up nice, if that is not tough enough hit it light with some meths or something of the likes, it will make that red/brown saddle sparkle its color like new again.

    Whatever you use, don't use Armor-All. The seat will look like new but you'll slide off the back the first time you wring it
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    true story....and, don't use dubbin on the seat of your leathers, has the same effect. Interesting LOL

    Ive tried all sorts of things now but nothing works. Even engine degreaser. May just have to be part of the bike.

    FFS don't use degreaser
    I use Dynamo laundry powder and warm water...great for dirt bikes too.
