i REALLY need my fairings of today, but cant get the rear ones of as the seat is in the way.. but i cant for love nor money get the seat off! am i being stupid? quick reply needed. thanks, jamie

IIRC, you need to take the panels off before you can get the seat off, same with the VFR

Lol, no, put the key in the helmet lock and turn it the opposite way to opening the helmet catch. Took me ages to work out the first time i tried as well!

edit: ok 73 model...maybe the same?

Nope both wrong
On the 73a it is a key under pillion seat on left side releases the pillion seat then there is a ringpull thing which releases the rider's seat

on the underside of the riders' seat there's a rectangular box, about 7cm long, 4 wide. its ontop of a bar that's going under-across the riders seat, left to right side of the frame.

look for a damaged puller-string or whatever, if there isn't one, you're probably going to have to force it off, but as your sitting on it, try and pull it to the right as this will compress the spring-lock mechanisim for the seat.

Confused :S

I have a 76 and know how to get the pillion seat off.

whats this about a helmet lock? :S

i found that my helmet lock didnt work on my gk76a.

gk76a pillion seat originally is open @ the helmet clip @ the rear left fairing, clockwise is open seat, anti clock is open the helmet clip. but the thing can be shifted by owner if they change to aftermarket fairing or mod the original fairing. my friend shifted the thing to rider's thigh's area as he mod the original fairing.
hope it helps...

There is a bolt just at the base of the tank. If someone has re- covered the seat it might be hidden under the padding.
