    from the back, the thickest part reach behind and pull outwards it will pop off, then remove it from the tab at the front, then undo the two screws holding the seat, one either side furthest back :)

    Is it just me or did anyone else loosen the fuel tank bolts first before realizing the seat screws are the ones next to it?!

    and me. took them out and still no luck with seat coming off!! the seat screws are fiddly buggers as even when undone they still just sit in the hole. had to hook something under screw head to pull out.
