Removing the seat on a Vmax |
| |
|
| There was a request for seat removal instructions.
Here we go. Removing the seat is necessary for battery charging or
replacement, as well as fixing "the
splice". |
| |
|
|
Tools required:
 |
10mm
ratchet and/or #2 phillips screwdriver |
|
| |
Keep in mind.... If you have to force it, you're doing it wrong. |
|
|
First open the middle of the section normally. As you would for
fueling. Slide the indicated levers on both sides of the bike
toward the front. |
|
|
Advance the center section guide over it's top point and forward,
shown by the red arrow. You'll have to lift up, push forward, and
then down/forward on both sides simultaneously to gain easy access. Remove the seat fasteners on both sides of the seat. These are
indicated in green. Of the bikes I've seen, some are 10mm, others
are Phillips. There should be four bolts (two for each side). |
|
Installation is the reverse of above. Only note on installation
is slip the front end in first, then fit the rear in. Make sure
the tab on the seat front is secured under the frame.
Never ride without your
seat securely fastened.
