**** grief... - SV650.org

How do I ssort this out without damaging my gear (or the seat)?.

I washed my SPIDI Cordura riding gear in a special two stage process. Wash then waterproof. NikXXX ( I think it was called) is the product and it is designed for this purpose (and it is expensive too).

Now I can not keep my **** in one place on the seat

I slip and slide as if on an ice rink. I also fear the waterproofing may have transferred to the seat which wont help the issue at all. Bloody uncomfortable and difficult to ride with this going on.

How do I get it off with out wrecking anything ? BTW - I am not even sure what the seat cover is made of ? Ducati S4.

you need some kind of degreaser, tho i don't know what would be ok to use on a seat

, if you knew what the seat was made of that would help a lot

Fairy liquid has many uses

reminds me of the time i was polishing a mates honda hornet - i used Mr Sheen to finish it and in my stupor i polished his seat nice and shiny...

he was not impressed as he almost went off when going round a very gentle corner!

i would use something like a mild vinegar solution with warm water - take care not to get it on the rest of the bike though as it'll corrode.

It's called 'Nik Wax' - I don't have this problem with mine, as my cordura stuff has a rubberised panel on the ass, grips like poo to a blanket (even when you don't want it too

)

How about this... for what its worth

Over on the Ducati Monster Forum a rider has suggested the powder that mountain climbers use for grip. ( Gymnasts use the same stuff but none of them use it on their arses)

That sounds cool (and innovative) and he found it worked in a similar situation

i had the same problem - you need some of this http://www.firstaid4sport.co.uk/Prod...ProductID=2592

there is also a "magic grip spray" but IIRC it leaves a powdery residue.

either way, better than the powder.
