Slippery seat
Permalink  
 


My seat is seriously slippery. When I'm two-up it's not long before the pillion has squashed my unmentionables into the tank.

Does anyone know if

a) There's a remedy product to make it more sticky?

Or

b) Someone males a cheap grippy seat cover for the TTR?

I have an 05 UK model.

Thanks all

To save you the bother of using Google biggrin I've obtained these suggestions from EHow?:-

1.      Invest in a seat cover. There are several aftermarket pads and covers made of textured material that are designed to minimize butt slippage.

2.      Invest in a new seat. Not only are aftermarket seats designed better, but they utilize materials that prevent slipping.

3.      Do it yourself. Spray Super Grip on the seat, experiment with double-sided tape, or strap a rubberized fabric to the top of the seat. Those are just a few homemade options.

4.      Ride in leather pants. Leather is more prone to sticking to the seat compared to jeans or light fabrics.

5.      Modify your seat. Take it to a specialist and have the foam reshaped so that you are seated deeper in the bike. If you are good with a turkey carver, remove the seat's cover and reshape the foam. Install a new anti-slip cover to further enhance the anti-slippage effect.

Although there are more options they give sound advice.

Quite a few riders on the forums have plumped for option 5 with acceptable results for a modest outlay.
