Seat removal ?

[Hatter]

Ok, I have looked at some threads about seats, and have found all kind of information, except for the very basic question of :

HOW DO I GET THE DAMN SEAT OFF?

This was just posted a few weeks ago. Simple. Flip up the middle seat. Look for two small screws that go horizontally right above the frame and on either side of the rubber boot around the fuel filler neck. Lift up the seat and slide it backwards toward the tail as there is a lip that goes under the air box cover. The rear seat has two screws on either side of the rubber boot too and a lip that captures the rear. Slide it forward once you pull the bolts. There you go.:clapping:

I don't use the bolts to hold down the front seat section anymore, just use the middle section latch to keep it on. That keeps it EZ for me. :biglaugh:
