Seat (Saddle) Adjustments
PROPER MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
CONTINUED
If you complete these adjustments
and the quick release is tight, yet the
handlebars feel loose, do not ride
your bike. Take it to your local dealer
for inspection and adjustment.
WARNING
Saddle angles can be adjusted to meet
your preferences. It is recommended
that you first try to ride with the top of the
saddle parallel to the ground. The saddle
can also be moved forward or rearwards
along the seatpost to adjust the distance
from the handlebar.
To adjust the angle of the saddle:
1. Decrease the tightness of the
saddle-clamp bolt (Fig. 50) until the
saddle can be moved.
2. Put a straight edge, bubble level or
ruler across the top of the saddle to
better see the angle of the saddle.
3. Adjust the saddle and tighten the
saddle-clamp bolt for your type of
seatpost:
• One bolt that uses a 13 or 14 mm
open-end wrench: 180-220 lb•in
(20.3-24.9 N•m)
• One bolt across the seatpost head
that uses a 5mm allen wrench: 120-
130 lb•in (13.6-14.7 N•m)
• One bolt that uses a 6mm allen
wrench: 150-250 lb•in (17-28.3 N•m)
• Two bolts that use a 5mm allen
wrench: 80-120 lb•in (9.6-14.1 N•m)

If you ride a saddle that is not adjusted
correctly or one that does not correctly
support your pelvic area, it can cause
injury to your nerves and blood
vessels. If your saddle causes pain or
numbness, adjust the saddle position
or speak to your dealer about a saddle
that is more comfortable.
WARNING
An incorrectly positioned seatpost can
break the saddle rails or the seat-
clamp bolt, and cause you to fall. Only
clamp the flat portion of the saddle
rails in the seat clamp.
