Seat Care - Triumph Speed Triple Handbook

Seat Care

To prevent damage to the seat or seat cover,
care must be taken not to drop or lean the
seat against any surface which may damage
the seat or its cover.
See page 115 for seat cleaning information.
Caution
To prevent damage to the seat or cover,
care must be taken not to drop the seat.
Do not lean the seat against the motorcycle
or any surface which may damage the seat
or cover. Instead, place the seat, with the
seat cover facing upwards, on a clean, flat
surface which is covered with a soft cloth.
Do not place any item on the seat which
may cause damage or staining to the seat
cover.
To refit the seat, engage the seat's tongue
under the fuel tank and press down at the
rear to engage in the seat lock. An audible
click can be heard when the seat is fully
engaged into its lock.
Warning
To prevent detachment of the seat during
riding, after fitting always grasp the seat
and pull firmly upwards. If the seat is not
correctly secured in the lock, it will detach
from the lock. A loose or detached seat
could cause loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
General Information
Tie-Down Hooks
Located on the underside of the seat are the
tie-down hooks.
The tie-down hooks are designed to help
secure a load up to 3.5 kg (7.5 lb) to the seat
using a rope.
To access and use the tie-down hooks,
remove the seat (see page 48).
Release the hooks from the inner clip and
pivot them around and securely fit them into
the outer clips.
Refit the seat as described on page 49.
