Hi all, I've a Pikes Peak V4 which comes equipped with a seat that has a section at the rear of red vinyl... after about a year or so this red part of the seat became very sticky to the touch (I don't park it. under trees etc., and the rest of the seat is unaffected) or clean it with any chemicals so can't figure out what is happening other than some sort of material break down. Cleaning with soap, alcohol etc won't remove it. Ducati replaced the seat a few months ago and now the replacement seat has yet again turned into a sticky mess. They are sending me another rear seat and have said I'm the ONLY one with this complaint (which I find hard to believe) and rather agressively stating if it happens again they won't entertain it......would love to know if anyone out there has had the same problem. It's not a huge issue but somewhat irritating that I will undoubtedly have to put some aftermarket seat cover on instead.
