My recently acquired 05 620 Monster has some mysterious goo on the sit down portion of the seat, original stock saddle with ~10Kmi. Warm sun makes this stuff like glue, I sure ain't gonna slide off.
Scrubbed the heck out of it with hot hot water & nylon brush - and no go.
I don't know if this was a reaction to the leather cleaner & conditioner (Lexol), Mothers auto wash, or something applied by PO - or even the seat deteriorating?
When cold the seat barely feels tacky.
I initially noticed after first hot day in the sun.
Anyone experienced this?
Pretty sure it isn't from someone having too much fun in the saddle - please don't go there!
Uhhh..is bike in question a Capirex??
Did you happen to pick it up from a guy named Randall?
[cheeky]
Did ya poo yourself?
This has been mentioned before. I think it was the glue under the cover or under the shredded(?) plastic layer which came through the seat cover on a warm day. My guess, the cover must be taken off, either to put on a new cover and/or a new plastic layer. I might remember it wrong, though.
Yeah this happened to my S4R. Ducati gave me a new seat under warranty. Now might be a good time to upgrade to a gel seat.
Same thing happened to me after eating some potato chips with olestra. :-[
I had the same thing happen to my seat last fall. I tried just about everything to get it off and nothing worked. It just spread over my whole seat with time. My bike had about 1,100 miles on it when I got it and it just started as a small spot and slowly spread over the whole seat. I had always figured that someone living around me didn't like the sound of the bike and had just messed with my seat to f*ck with me.

Ok - that I like! [clap]
By the title I thought this might have had something to do with a bad camping experience.
