I do put things that keep the saddle slippery and use that motion a LOT to make lane changes and merge on the expressway. I don't trust the blind spot enough to not twist and look. I removed the number 18 aftermarket seat from the PCX shortly after testing it because it cradled my butt too well and I felt like my visibility was hampered. Might just be me so I'm willing to entertain some criticism on the subject of slippery and cradled saddles.alx123 wrote:Keep away any oily substance on parts that needs friction to operate properly (seats, tires, brakes)

Ah, just checked that #18 seat and it looks like it will prevent you from sitting a more sporty position.A side effect of riding sport bike. I'm all over the saddle sometimes and when jumping on the scoot it carries over. When I put the #18 (cradled) seat for PCX it was too restrictive and made me appreciate the stock design.
Everything looks better from the inside of a motorcycle helmet...

I have a slightly different problem when I go back to the pcx. I have to be more "delicate" as it's much more sensitive to inputs. So I end up being a lot more still.
