lol sounds like your bike needs about 1/2 a can of WD-40 !
I would soak everything...including the seat and handle grips ...any rubber
any metal.... and then wipe it dry ...
I even use WD-40 to clean the windshield ! and seat.... the light oil is just what the seat needs to keep it soft and pliable.
side walls of the tires too... helps prevent cracking...
it really is FIX-IT in a can ! HAHAHAHA
....I wouldn't recommend that if I didn't do it.... and I do it 3 or 4 times a year !
