General Information
Seat Lock
Seat Care
To prevent damage to the seat or seat cover,
care must be taken not to drop or lean the
seat against any surface which may damage
the seat or seat cover.
1. S e a t l o c k
The seat lock is located at the rear of the right
hand side cover.
To remove the seat, insert the ignition key
into the seat lock and turn it anti-clockwise
while pressing down on the rear of the seat.
This will release the seat from its lock and
allow it to be slid rearwards for complete
removal from the motorcycle.
Note:
• An audible click can be heard
when the bayonet has engaged
into the lock.
To refit the seat, engage the seat’s tongue
under the fuel tank and press down at the
rear to engage in the seat lock.
Caution
To prevent damage to the seat or seat
cover, care must be taken not to drop the
seat. Do not lean the seat against the
motorcycle or any surface which may
damage the seat or seat cover. Instead,
place the seat, with the seat cover facing
upwards, on a clean, flat surface which is
covered with a soft cloth.
Do not place any item on the seat which
may cause damage or staining to the seat
cover.
Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat during
riding, after fitting always grasp the seat
and pull firmly upwards. If the seat is not
correctly secured in the lock it will detach
from the lock. A loose or detached seat
could cause loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
