    Default slippery seat?

    I did buy the premium seat for my Ryker. I tend to slip around the seat for some reason, almost falling off a few times. Is there something I can put on the seat to grab my pants and prevent me from falling off?

    Mine is only slippery after a cage pulls out on me. Honestly, the comfort seat is flatter with less bucket than the Rally seat. It gives me the ability to move around when cornering hard s0 I can load up the outside peg. I like it better.

    Go to Lowe's and get a package of the peel and stick, non-slip stair tread tape and stick it across the back of your jeans.

    It is true that there is a bit of weight redistribution when cornering. Not like a two wheeler where you lean with the bike so you don't feel it. It probably just takes a bit getting used to it. Maybe tighten the knees a bit on a corner and lean your body into the turn? I was sliding when I first got on it, but now I guess I am just used to it and do not notice it. My wife holds onto me tight so I guess I gain two benefits from having a passenger; no sliding and her holding onto me.

    How many miles do you have on the seat? It could have been cleaned/treated with something that has made it rather slippery and will get better as you "scuff" it up a bit.

    Blu tack works... and leaves no residue behind .

    On a more serious tone... I assume this happens when you corner?
    Do you lean in the corner... or you just keep straight? You should lean in...

    Well, yes I know. This thread had plenty of comic potential But I have gotten a lot of admin warnings for stuff I post that I did not even know was a problem. So I thought I would play it straight.
