    Hi All,

    I have made a special bracket that fits on the LH bar to take my satnav.

    My question is, how do you remove the rider seat etc so I can get to the battery and wire in a live feed for the satnav.

    Cheers Dave

    If its same as 2010 model remove 2 triangle shape plastic covers directly below each side of seat, then remove the 2 screws ( 1 each side) and hey presto!

    I'm guessing. As I've not seen a 2012 in the flesh. You remove the two small infill panels between the seat and frame to access two screws. Undo them and should lift off?

    Easy mate the 2 little plastic panels either side of the seat come off its a pop in type. Then its simply a couple of screws to undo and your done.
    Start from the rear of the panels as they are clipped to the tank cover at the front. Just take it easy.
