WARNING
Extended riding with a poorly adjusted saddle or one that does not properly support your pelvic area can cause
injury to your nerves and blood vessels. If your saddle causes pain or numbness, re-adjust the saddle position.
If after adjustment your saddle still causes pain or numbness, consult your dealer about further positioning or
replacing the saddle with one that better fits you.
•
To adjust the angle of the saddle
1. Loosen the seat fixing bolt just far enough so the saddle can be tilted fore and aft.
Some seat posts use two bolts, where angle adjustment is done by loosening one
bolt and tightening the other bolt.
2. Place a straight edge, such as a level or ruler, across the top of the seat to
better see the angle.
3. Adjust the seat and re-tighten the seat fixing bolt according to the type of seat post:
•
Double bolts using a 5 mm Allen wrench- 80-125 lb•in (9.6-14.1 N•m).
•
Single bolt using a 13 or 14 mm open-end wrench-180-220 lb•in (20.3-24.9 N•m).
•
Single bolt using a 6 mm Allen wrench- 150-250 lb•in (17-28.3 N•m).
•
Double bolts using a 4 mm Allen wrench- 45-60 lb•in (5-6.8 N•m).
