Seat catch and helmet hooks
Opening (fig. 22)
Fit the ignition key into the lock (1) and turn the key
clockwise until the rear end of the seat lifts up. Pull the
seat backward to slide it off its front holders (3).
At the front end of the compartment underneath the
seat, there are the helmet hooks (2, fig. 23) for rider and
pillion rider helmets. Hook the helmet straps onto the
hooks and leave the helmets hanging outside. They will
be locked safely when you refit the seat.
Warning
This system is intended to lock your helmet safely
when you park your motorcycle. Never leave the helmet
hanging from the hook when riding or it may get in the
way and make you lose control of the motorcycle.
Closing
Make sure that all parts are arranged and secured
properly inside the compartment under the seat. Slide
the front ends (3) of the seat bottom underneath the
frame U-bolt and push down on the rear end of the seat
until you hear the catch click. Make sure the seat is firmly
secured to the frame and take the key out of the lock (1).
