Full Version: Massive Failure - Seat Latch
Public Discussion Forums > Mechanical/FAQ > The Garage

Well, my seat latch broke. I've got the part that hooks into the cable, the cable, but nothing else. :sad: My guess is that there's a bracket/screw combination that fell off. I couldn't find the parts /assemby portion in the service manual.

Fortunately, it's ridable...

I'm gonna have to go to the dealer and rant and rave about the piss poor quality of my honda :grin: This should be under warranty.

Did you lose the seat? My recieving side was loose when I tried mounting a corbin, and almost lost it. I lock tited the hell out of it. J
Hobicus
No, didn't lose the seat. Noticed it when I got home, and was getting off the bike.

I do have a Corbin on there, but this is one of those "Fit and Finish" things that just shouldn't happen. :evil:

Of course, 15k miles and this is all I have to complain about.

How do you lose a seat that you're sitting on?


Some get up on the pegs to stretch their legs...surprise, seat blown away from right under your ass :shock: I saw Jessie James lose it that way on one of his high $ choppers.
marquis
How about a quick hang-off move? That should do it. :razz: But, yeah, it's mostly psychological - just knowing that the seat is loose would make me nervous and distracted.

I live around Tannersville in the Poconos.
marquis
Yeah, I heard about you guys :grin: Pillaging this beautiful area; regret I wasn't a part of it :lol: Definitely NEXXT time, no excuses. Maybe if I feed'em, Dave and Don won't have to rape me for being delinquent the last two times :)

Rich,
You are probably talking about p# 4 ( http://www.ronayers.com/fiche/200_0351/sea...FTOKEN=60225103 )
I can get it for you from my dealer for $18.62 + 8.75% tax, if you are interested...
Cheers,
Hobicus
Thanks everyone.

My dealer has agreed to replace it under warranty, it's on order.

I'm not too worried about it coming loose, but I'll probably bungee it just in case.
