Caution
To prevent damage to the seat or seat
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 seat 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.
Passenger Seat
Warning
The rider's seat is only correctly
retained and supported once the
passenger seat is correctly installed.
Never ride the motorcycle with the
passenger seat detached or removed,
as the front seat will not be secure and
may move.
A loose or detached seat could cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat
during riding, after installation always
grasp the seat and pull firmly upwards.
If the seat is not correctly secured, it
will detach from the lock.
A loose or detached seat could cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
The seat lock is located on the rear
fender, below the tail/brake light unit.
