Black spots on 01 400sx seat

[HGaither]

Has anyone had any black spots to appear on their 01 400sx seat ? They appear to be underneath the clear layer on the orange part. Would this possibly be warranty?

I have a 2001 300 EXC that is doing the same thing and my dealer says that KTM is replacing them under warranty.

I may have misunderstood. If it is mildew that is one thing. Mine is delaminating and turning gray which is a problem with the 2001 seats.

It is mildew on the foam that is soaking through the cover. I had a lot of black spots on my EXCs cover and when I replaced it with the K-Style cover I saw that the foam was all covered with mildew. KTM Canada wont replace them under warranty, I dont know about the USA though.

mildew

It definately looks like mildew to meand it appeared shortly after I purchased the bike. Also I have not been in that much water, hardly any at all.

Your dealer should replace your seat cover. I was told by my dealer that KTM i s replacing the 2001 seat covers with 2000 covers. My is doing the
same thing, seperating, fading and such.

I dont ride mine in alot of water either. I guess I wash it too much.

My seat looks like crap after 200 miles of use. I'm definately going to go back to the dealer for a warranty replacement if possible.

black spots

well so far that is the only complaint that I have with my bike, I guess that's not too bad.
