Seat Care
To prevent damage to the seats or seat
covers, care must be taken not to drop or
lean the seats against any surface which may

To remove the rider’s seat, remove the two
side fixings using the Allen key provided in

fixings to 9Nm.

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