Anybody else having their bit cooked after leaving scooter in the sun ?

I know I can leave it in the shade or cover it (the seat not my bulge) but that's no fun and requires planning on my part.

Surely by now a high tech gel seat or something has been invented. I thought about a furry seat but my bits would get too sweaty and when it rained it would be sodden for hours.

Any ideas?

Place your frilly handkerchief on the seat after dismounting. Or have your man servant sit on it and await your return.

Having a manservant sit on his bulge would be awfully expensive, no doubt.

Wearing leather pants should help. Or, if you don't like the biker look, maybe you prefer diapers?

Go to your local computer shop and buy a CPU water-cooling rig. A bit of ingenuity and you could have a water-cooled bulge.

flip the seat up while its parked.

Piece of an old cardboard box? Tupperware container with wet towel stored under the seat.

Park near 7-11 buy 10 bahts worth of ice?

Keep a small furry animal under your seat with bungee style hooks on it's feet to keep it in place. Simply clip it into place once you parked your bike and no more hot seat. It would have the added bonus of keeping you company at night if you fed it.

just pour some water on the seat just before you sit.

it reduces the heat suddenly to tolerable levels.

Wearing leather pants should help.

Wearing pants might be a good start.

Ride your bike standing up for a few minutes, that should cool the seat down for you.

Or you could have it recovered in a light grey colour (hell, any colour than black), which would reflect more light than the Black seat most bikes have

That's a good idea....until it springs a leak!

Saw his contact here...

That seat does get hot when left outside for even an hour or so on hot days doesn't it?

Thais often use a jacket.

dam_n I just paid 190 baht for a 'new' seat for an old Honda Tena that had a couple of rips in its seat - I could've bought this cover instead.

Guys. theres just too much material to work with here, slow news day eh?

I have this problem with my Fireblade. The seat is just a piece of flat, black plastic so it can be a bit of a shocker if I hop on in my shorts when it's been sitting in the sun.

But, I have found that if I press my gloves firmly down on the saddle several times across the width it removes enough heat to be comfortable to sit on.

Pressing down with your gloves works? I tried fixing a towel on by zip ties and did an exemplary job. Then it rained and it got soggy, dam_n.

Now I just carry a small towel and either cover it beforehand or when I get on.

The gloves work. I found out through desperation; having nothing else to hand I thought it would be worth a try. I keep them in the seat hump and the temperature difference seems to be enough.

Now I carry a small towel left in the storage compartment. Does the trick.
