This installs the [[SDS Platform]] models' [[SDS Platform/Seat|seat]].

;Tools
* '''2015+:''' T45 Torx wrench (for seat bolts).
* '''2013-2014 (with top or side racks):''' 5mm Allen key (for seat bolts).

;Steps
# ''When luggage racks are installed'' Remove the top case and/or side cases to ensure the rack is unloaded.
# Place the seat on the tail slightly to the rear of where it will sit.
#: Ensure that the pan's horn-shaped catches will slip under the frame's Y-shaped centerpiece pins.
# Push the seat forward and down to sit in place.
# Visually align the holes of the seat bracket with the seat bolt holes.
#: Align the seat's bracket with the frame holes to avoid wear.
#: Align the seat's tabs between the frame rails to avoid stressing the seat pan and marring the frame.
#: If the top rack is installed, too, check the alignment of that as well to avoid wear trying to thread the bolts.
# Insert the seat bolts, gently engaging while checking for cross-threading.
#: Check for alignment again while the bolt head encounters the seat bracket.
#: Press down and forward on the seat as needed to help align and tighten the bolts.

# Tighten the bolt head against the frame surface to hold it in place but do not over-tighten.
# ''When luggage racks are installed'' Re-install the top case and/or side cases.
