I have a 2021 GTS. Seat is already starting to fade color. Not that big a deal, just kind of surprised how quick it happened. This happen to anyone else? Any tricks about how to revive it? It's the chocolate brown color.

Seat cover when left/ parked in the sun?

Also there are a range of finishes and polishes ( careful with a slippy seat) which contain UV blockers.

This is not a common issue in the UK with our weather, in fact the treatment I have to give my wifes car ( Mazda Miata) is to prevent green moss type deposits on it

It happened to one of my 2021 GTS Supers. It's black seat is turning a grayish color. My other bike is fine. My bikes are both garage kept. When we park our bikes to get something to eat, we drape our jackets over the seats.

Many of us use a CoolAss cover over our scooter seat while its parked in the sun. It keeps the seat from getting overheated while parked and also reduces sun damage to the seat material. Also keeps the seat dry.

Stays green plus you don't have to water it or cut it ever.
