Seat Catch And Helmet Hooks - Ducati Monster 400 Owner's Manual

Seat catch and helmet hooks

Opening
Insert the key in the lock, turn it clockwise to release the seat
from the frame. Pull the seat backwards to slide it off its front
holders.
On the rear end of the compartment underneath the seat,
there is the helmet fastening cable (1) (see page 41). Insert
the cable into the helmet and insert the ends of the cable into
the pin (2). Leave the helmet hanging outside and 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
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.
