Slippery Seat

[2_SL0]

No laughing at this question, but my god my seat is slippery. It makes me feel uncomfortable if Im gunning it. Anyone got fix for this problem.

My mechanic suggested spraying a bit of brake cleaner on to a clean rag to wipe over the seat. Seemed to work, and didn't do any damage.

What are you wearing while riding? (Yeah - go ahead; laugh it up...)

Some pants are slippery than others, like my Motoline pants slide everywhere, but my leathers don't.
Brakecleaner is basically acetone, so should remove anything slippery, but given your seat is vinyl, probably not a good idea for longevity of the material. Warm soapy water would be kinder to it, as would meths.
I have heard of people that have stuck self-adhesive material of some sort (velcro? ) to stop their pillion sliding off. Maybe you could stick the hook sided stuff on your seat and wear furry pants?

I used to have a 93 rm125 with the original seat and i used to slide all over the show. being a poor student i was cheap so i just used some "sex wax"
from the old surf board till i could afford a new seat. lol

Manuboy have you got a price. They look just the thing.

I can just hear my wife, LOLOLOL they match your pink bike. As I explain colour and style is not everything.

(Note for those unaware my bike has those damn pink decals that Yamaha were fond of in the mid 90's)

Sorry mate, i know you're at the other end of the country, but i can't take the chance, you know how embarrasing it is to spot somebody wearing the same outfit...

Imitation is the bigest form of flattery. C'mon be buddy.

On my learners bike, I used an Armour All protective spray on my vinyl (I think) seat, and couldn't ride properly for days/weeks. Was quicker than snot! Finally wore off...

I've learnt now, no product on seat!
