General Information
To Install the seat, engage the seat's tongue
under the fuel tank and press down at the
rear to engage in the seat lock. An audible
click can be heard when the seat is fully
engaged into its lock.
Tie-Down Hooks
Located on the underside of the seat are the
tie-down hooks.
The tie-down hooks are designed to help
secure a load up to 7.5 lb (3.5 kg) to the seat
using a rope.
To access and use the tie-down hooks,
remove the seat (see page 53).
Release the hooks from the inner clip and
pivot them around and securely fit them into
the outer clips.
Install the seat as described on page 53.

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.
If the seat is used to carry small objects,
they must not exceed 7.5 lb (3.5 kg) in
weight, must not impair control of the
motorcycle, must be securely attached and
must not extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle.
Carriage of objects in excess of 7.5 lb
(3.5 kg) in weight, that are insecure, impair
control or extend beyond the rear or sides
of the motorcycle may lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Even if small objects are correctly loaded
onto the rear seat, the maximum speed of
the motorcycle must be reduced to
80 mph (130 km/h).
