08- fireblade need a favour

Hiii everyone just tryin to accertain why theres soo much movement in the seat on the blade any chance sumone could take a pic of the bolts under the black lil side pannel on the seat where u get to the screws to take of the seat

also one the ones that hold the seat on does yours have any washers or anything like that and can your seat move upwards and downwards? an a lil laterly

not sure if its been fitted right from the dealers I had it into or if theyve put the wrong bolts in lol or left somet out as its just got a possi screw thing goin striaght through the subframe and intothe tine square bit in the actual seat so its moving all over


ps Ill get ya a drink at the scotchy or tap if ya can have a look :icecream:

Thanks a load

These any help Tom ..







The hole on the right should have an oval rubber grommit in but it was flimsy and perished and I couldn't get replacements, so had to work around the problem. ( see last pic )



Again the grommit is missing from the left hand hole,(it should look like the one in the center but wasn't as robust), this would have held the the screw that goes into the seat firmly and stop it moving around.







Packed a cardboard wedge in to stop the metal plate moving and hold it in place so as the screw could get purchase, on both sides.




Had to put some rubber grommets on the screw shafts, when screwed in tight everything is held ridged and firm. No seat movement.

 

I used no nails or similar to hold the nuts in place on mine, they had a tendency to fall out and drop under the battery when you pushed the screw in to fit it back on. Never had a problem with it being loose when fitted though.

 

:whistle: Nice to see honda are keeping up there quality control. :doh: :bleh:
