seat defective?

I washed and dried my bike yesterday,and today when i rode,i had a wet *** when I got to work

I think the stitching is allowing water into the foam of the seat.Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the stock seat on an 08 nightster.Is this something I can get replaced under warranty?

RE: seat defective?

Well, I don't know if it's a defect, but when I clean my bike, I put plastic over the seat and then just clean it with a damp sponge.

It is normal, dry the seam with air after wash, it will be fine.

RE: seat defective?

I've never had that problem, either...and my bike gets rained on, as well as occasionally washed at the carwash! No, the seat's not waterproof, but I've never had a problem with "wet *** syndrome" unless the seat or other parts of the bikewas still wet...and even then, it was only minor. What's happening with you isn't a defect in the seat, though.
