This installs the SDS Platform models' seat.

Tools

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

Steps

1. When luggage racks are installed Remove the top case and/or side cases to ensure the rack is unloaded.
2. 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.

3. Push the seat forward and down to sit in place.
4. 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.

5. 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.

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