If you take care of the maintenance of your motorcycle, you will know that in some tasks you will have to lift or remove the seat. Here we show you how to do it carefully
If you are a person who takes care of the maintenance of your motorcycle yourself, you will already know that for many of the tasks that you will have to carry out you will need to lift or remove the seat if it does not allow lifting it. Under the seat are some of the most important components of a motorcycle, which you will have to access in a compulsory way.
Normally on motorcycles that allow the seat to be removed without having to disassemble it, there is a space reserved for storing the papers, the motorcycle insurance , some basic tools, the helmet, etc. Also in many under the seat we find the battery, the oil tank and other essential elements for the maintenance of your motorcycle .
For this reason, in today's post from Pont Grup we are going to focus on giving you a series of tips so that you can remove the seat from your motorcycle effortlessly, reaching some of the most important parts and components of your motorcycle that will allow you to lengthen the life of your motorcycle. So if you want to take care of your motorcycle and monitor it regularly, pay attention and take note because this interests you.
What must be taken into account to remove the seat of your motorcycle?
The first thing you have to do before getting down to work is to make sure if the seat of your motorcycle can be opened without having to disassemble it . In general, there should be no problem, but we still recommend that you use the motorcycle manual, since it is possible that the manufacturer makes some mention about how the seat can be removed, which would greatly facilitate things.
Normally in most motorcycle models, the first thing you have to do is find the hook located as a support to hang the helmet , since in many cases this support also acts as a lever to open the seat, turning it to one side or the other. Still be sure, as it is not always the case.
In case this is the case, when you operate this lever, the seat will open automatically , simply having to pull it back to gain access to its interior and to be able to reach the parts you want to manipulate to carry out the maintenance of the motorcycle.
Other many bikes allow the opening of the seat through the ignition key , so even simpler. You just have to put the key in the lock, and through different combinations it is possible that the seat opens automatically by lifting it backwards.
And it could also be that the model of your motorcycle does not allow the opening of the seat , so the only possibility to remove it would be to disassemble it by hand. In these cases, giving advice is complicated, since each motorcycle is different, but it will almost certainly consist of removing the screws that secure the seat and carefully disengaging it.
If your motorcycle does not allow you to lift the seat and it only gives you the option of removing it, you should find out if you will find any essential part under the seat for its maintenance , since otherwise it would not be of any use.
