Seat Care
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.

Seat Stand
To prevent damage to the seat after
removing:
Release the metal stand from the
underside of the seat.
Place the seat cover facing upwards, on
a clean, flat surface using the metal
stand and two plastic stands at the rear
of the seat to rest on.
See page 140 for seat cleaning
information.

Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat
during riding, after fitting always grasp
the seat and pull firmly upwards.

the lock, it will detach from the lock.
A loose or detached seat could cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
