Help with sticky seat

Stop riding naked.

HTH.

 

Does anyone know how I can get rid of a 'sticky' patch on a seat.
Have tried soap + water, petrol and WD40 but as soon as the seat dries the
patch comes back

Thanks

 

Minus 7 minutes is pretty quick.

thought it would be quicker that 7 minutes

 

Why does it matter what colour his seat is?

 

Start riding naked.

 

Lemon, or orange.

 

I had a similar problem with a previous bike (a CG125*).
I tried many different types of solvents but nothing permanently fixed it. I
concluded that it was a fundamental problem with the plastic itself
(dissociation of plasticiser perhaps brought on by sunlight?).
Eventually I got the seat professionally re-covered and it was fine after
that.

Try cellulose thinners. If that doesn't shift it, it must be ectoplasm,
so try 1-800-GHOSTBUSTERS.

 

Acetone (Nail varnish remover)

 

Well, you shouldn't have painted your nails, you gurl.

Hint: a bit of the previous post for context really helps.

And yer sigsep's bust.

 

yep, as a girlie this would be my recommendation, also works wonders for
removing sticky bits from most things............

 

Try using a tissue, or if you have to tissues, try using a sock.

 

How much does that cost?

 

Noooooo!

That's definitely to be avoided on bike seats - I speak from experience
of crunching my nuts against the tank aided by the pillion rapidly
sliding down the seat under braking.

It's _far_ too slippery for bike seats, that stuff.

Are there any naked pictures of you anywhere on the internet, and if so
where?

You didn't?

 

Far too wordy.

 

Can't remember unfortunately, it was a few years ago!
They did a good enough job of it, but it was a fairly "plain" style seat.
I'm not sure if it would be possible to re-cover some of the more fancy
"sculpted" sports bike seats.
