what to use to clean/condition the seat?

[ctgottapee]

are we just using an armour all type product? it seems like a vinyl....

I use my arse..... seems to clean it everytime, that and wind. I don't think it's vinyl. Mine feels like it's more like a wet suit.

As much as I love ArmorAll, I think it'd make the seat far too slick.

armour all is terrible to use on our bike seats! I have a product which allows you to protect your entire bike with a single application for the next four years

I don't think the FZ6R manual addresses it but the owner's manual for a Spyder in no uncertain terms states do not use Armor All or similiar products. It advises that no product is to be used. Just wash the seat when you wash the vehicle. I believe that would hold true for the FZ6R as well. David

well my booty is not keeping the thing clean

i wouldn't want to use armor-all, but figured it was something along those lines; i'm not sure even what the seat surface is

I certainly hit the seat with the soapy water during bike washes. Otherwise, da butt.

Whatever you use, I'd test it in a small spot somewhere. Most protectants make vinyl and leather insanely slick. I ArmorAll the dash of my car, but have found the sticky pad for my Garmin GPS might as well have a bunch of ball-bearing rollers on the bottom after I've applied it.

If anyone finds anything, let me know. I grew up with a pair of Yamaha four-wheelers my parents bought in 1981 and 1982. Both were sold in 2000, and I can tell you the sun was not kind to the plastics or the seat in those two decades.

i'm going to try the Lexol product Vinylex and see how it goes

I did it once on the cruiser and kept sliding all over the place. My lower back ached like hell after the ride.

water + soap + washcloth and a lint free towel to dry it off.

Putting anything that can act as a persistent lubricant on the ass to seat interface is asking for trouble.

Zymol Vinyl is some really great stuff, not greasy like armorall, slick initially but tightens up pretty quick.

It's great for anything plastic, even the decals.
