General Information
Seat Lock
1. Seat lock
The seat lock is located on the left hand side
of the motorcycle, on the frame below the
seat. 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.
Located on the underside of the seat is the
fuel tank support.

Caution
To prevent damage to the seat or 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 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.
