Seat Installation (various models)
Bolt/Clamp model:
Attach Seat to Seat Post (fi g 09):
(pre-assembled on some models)
• Loosen nuts on seat clamp (A) and
rotate Seat (35) into riding position.
• Put the seat post (32) fully through the
seat clamp.
• Tighten the Seat Clamp so the seat
stays on the seat post.
• If the Seat Clamp has a nut on each
side, tighten both nuts equally.
Single Bolt Seat Clamp:
It is important that you loosen the clamp bolt suffi ciently to allow any serrations (B)
on the mechanism to disengage before changing the seat's angle, and then that the
serrations fully re-engage before you tighten the clamp bolt.
Steps:
• Loosen the Seat Clamp Bolt (A)
enough to allow the seat to adjust.
• Position the seat to a comfortable rid-
ing position.
• Tighten the Seat Clamp Bolt (A) suffi -
ciently to ensure the seat will not come
loose.
WARNING: When making seat angle adjustments with a single bolt seat
clamp, always check to make sure that the serrations on the mating surfaces of the
clamp are not worn. Worn serrations on the clamp can allow the seat to move, caus-
ing you to lose control and fall. Always tighten fasteners suffi ciently. Bolts that are too
tight can stretch and deform. Bolts that are too loose can move and fatigue.
