bought a new bike with a corbin seat find it very slippy when accellerating any ideas
I polish my seat to make it slippery to allow me to slide around on it. Being so short I cannot get my foot down unless I slide my bottom off the seat. I got caught out once when my leathers stuck to the seat and I couldn't get my foot down, the bike then toppled over on top of me. Slippy Seats Save Lives.
Those thing are pretty quick off the mark. While teaching CBT's I would often ferry these things around town. They are quite nippy so the accelerating problem may still be there.
Go to Lidl's on Thurs 26 Jan and buyan anti-slip PVC foam car boot mat for £2.49p... Cut down and fold/secure under the seat... It won't be pretty but it might work...
The above perfectly demonstrates the usual level of literacy expected from talkaboutmotorcycles users. The cunts.

Could well be, thoguh I've heard the T-cut thing before. I have similar problems with sliding on my seat when wearing my textile stuff, but right now I'd rather keep off the beans to prevent seat slippage than end up with wheel slippage IYSWIM. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 OMF#22 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 156 TS S2 Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
I've seen T-Cut used to remove a polishing product (like Armor-All) from a slippy bike seat, and it worked. Not something I'd recommend doing regularly as who knows what effect T-Cut will have on the seat material, which splits easily enough anyway. I just grip the tank with my knees to avoid sliding forwards.
The Corbin (or similar) on my Bindat12 is "Slippy By Shape"(tm) and by material. Wearing leather troos sorts it all out though, therefor.....
