;Notes
* Unload any luggage racks before taking the seat off for an extended period of time to avoid stressing the racks.
*: When luggage racks are installed, the seat bolts are load bearing (or at least damping).
* An M8-1.25&times;55mm socket cap bolt with a 6mm Allen head can be used if the kit bolt is lost.

;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.
# Remove the M8-1.25&times;55 seat bolts.
#: Push the seat down and forward as needed to help ease out the bolts.
