CAUTION
To prevent damage to the seats or seat covers, care must be taken not to drop the seats. Do not lean the
seats against the motorcycle or any surface which may damage the seats or seat covers. Instead, place the
seats, 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 seats which may cause damage or staining to the seat covers.
The passenger seat lock is located on the rear mudguard, below the rear light unit. To remove the seat,
insert the ignition key into the seat lock and turn it anticlockwise while pressing down on the rear of the seat.
This will release the seat from its lock and allow it to be slid rearwards. If equipped with heated seats,
disconnect the heated seat’s electrical connector for complete removal from the motorcycle. 1.
