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.
For more information on seat cleaning,
see page 178.
Seat Lock
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 in
the lock, it will detach from the lock.
A loose or detached seat may cause
loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
