Z1R Seat lock cover

#1 PostAuthor: rpeters » Fri Apr 19, 2019 12:02 pm

took delivery of the Z1R from the US this week. I had noticed that it didn't have the spring loaded seat lock cover so i had order one in preparation.
Can anyone help with a picture from underneath of one that is installed.
The spring seems to be too long and although i can get it located over the cover spigot, tension the spring and lock it into the forked end of the spigot, when i compress it it just springs back out!

Can anyone help?

Hi rpeters
you have to insert the spring and close the two forks by bending them carefully! It's a one way ticket so do it correct the first time!
If you want to open the fork again one of the legs will probably break off...
Good luck

Hi Rob
do you mean the complete air filter box or only the silencer?
If it's the silencer, it looks the same as the one from a Z1000A1 or A2 or A3 ...
Pretty easy to find pictures on the web, just go for it.
