Seat catch and helmet hooks Opening (fig. 22) Fit the ignition key into the lock (1) and turn the key clockwise until the rear end of the seat lifts up. Pull the seat backward to slide it off its front holders (3). At the front end of the compartment underneath the seat, there are the helmet hooks (2, fig. 23) for rider and pillion rider helmets. Hook the helmet straps onto the hooks and leave the helmets hanging outside. They will be locked safely when you refit the seat. Warning This system is intended to lock your helmet safely when you park your motorcycle. Never leave the helmet hanging from the hook when riding or it may get in the way and make you lose control of the motorcycle. Closing Make sure that all parts are arranged and secured properly inside the compartment under the seat. Slide the front ends (3) of the seat bottom underneath the frame U-bolt and push down on the rear end of the seat until you hear the catch click. Make sure the seat is firmly secured to the frame and take the key out of the lock (1). 0 O P EN 1 E 3 1 fig. 22 2 fig. 23 28
