Seat Removal/Installation
Tip: Use caution to avoid contact with the fuel tank when removing
the seat.

of the seat and pull
upward abruptly to
disengage the seat
base grommet from
the seat mount stud.
2. Lift the seat and
pull it slightly
rearward to
disengage the seat
base from the rear
retainer. A lanyard
tethers the seat
base to the
motorcycle.
3. To fully remove the
seat, remove the
lanyard bolt from
the bottom of the
seat and disconnect
the lanyard from
the seat base.
4. To reinstall the seat,
reinstall the
lanyard, making
sure it’s routed
between the guides
on the seat base.
5. Make sure the seat
base engages the rear retainer, then press downward
firmly at the front edge of the seat to engage the stud to
the seat base grommet.
WARNING! If the seat is not aligned in a straight-ahead position,
the grommet is not engaged to the stud. Make sure the grommet is
fully engaged to the stud before operating.
