Bought a corbin. Love it.
Instructions say to remove the seat latch from the oem seat pan and move it over to the corbin.
So i put a socket on the nut and start turning gently...and the bolt breaks loose. Its now free spinning, with no way to access the other side of the seat pan.
So i did what anyone would do: I carefully pulled every staple and removed the cover and foam, revealing the nonsense that yamaha got away with:
Once revealed, it was easy to secure this side with a set of pliers and remove the retaining bolt:
And the corbin is happy!
Tomorrow i will reinstall the retaining post with a heaping portion of jb weld such that it shall never move again. New nylock nut to replace the factory lock nut too.
Then its off to the upholstery shop to have the cover put back on. Should take them all of 15 min.
