    Dan, how on earth do you get the seat off, hinges up ok but it says in the
    book it should slide forward and come off... but it don't.

    And it looks like it need a pair of fork seals and rear tyre fitted,
    expensive?

    Oh and a bulb in the speedo, can't see how you get to that, anybody?

    ta, D

    Not expensive if you negotiated a discount before purchase if it was a
    private sale.

    If it was a from a dealer then they should repair the fork seals and
    replace the tyre if it is below the legal limit.

    Lift up, and pull forwards (fairly hard). I was worried I was
    going to break it the first time I took mine off.

    I hold either side of the middle of the seat. YMMV.

    Make that "both sides of the middle of the seat".
