    Can I just ask when your seat is bolted snug with the the two bolts either side of the seat, do you get any movement or does the captured bolt arrangement grip the frame?

    I ask as for years I have had a really bad vibration through the seat starting at 7000 rpm onwards, it is not in the pegs, bars or anywhere else.... so today I noticed the seat had 10-15 mm movement in every direction and the bolts moved relative to the frame.... is this normal?

    I was hoping that the addition of rubber grommets might snug it.... is this a known issue with these blades?
    I remember someone saying they test rode one and found it buzzy... so is it common, is there a solution?
    Many thanks.

    Sounds strange, mine is snug with no movement. The seat has a captive nut in it and the bolts should be shoulder ones. Incorrect bolts or captive nut holder damaged?

    Ah this in itself helps, that you have no movement.... cheers.
    There does it appear to be any obvious damage...
