probably the simplest of questions:
What tools do I need to remove the seat:
Do I need a TorQ bit to remove the seat? OR just regular spanner/socket for the 2 nuts underneath?
If I need a torQ bit, then what size?

Thanks

It's a Torx T50 bit that you'll need for the 3 screws at the front of the tongue; one that fits onto your 1/2 inch drive ratchet is best.
A 17mm goose-neck ring spanner is perfect for the 2 nuts to adjust or remove the seat without removing the tongue completely.

Hope this helps.

My Bobber only has two torx screws holding the seat. Am I missing one?

Thanks for the advice Mike! The Owners Manual does not specify the size needed for the seat adjustment screws so your help was great! I purchased a T50 today and adjusted my seat and the handlebars. Great!

Isn't there a little seat wrench behind one of the side covers?...I could be thinking of a diff bike, but thought there was one...

There is a torx tool behind the cover, but its small, something like a T20 or T25. I think its meant for accessing the air filters. Its far too small for the seat.

Zanetti Have you guys made any progress? Your designs were looking promising. I have been (patiently?) waiting for an update..

Having taken my seat off yesterday, I can confirm it's a T50 Torx (thanks Zanetti) for the 3 torx bolts and a 17mm socket for the bolts underneath.


Technically, it's just the 17mm socket, but there wasn't enough space to get the socket on with the seat still in place.

I have a Corbin seat on order. Anyone know what size are the four little screws on the seat pan... torx or hex? Size? Hanks!
