To replace the seat cover:

1. Flip the motorbike upside down on a flat and clear surface.
2. Remove the staples that secure the cover to the seat and flip the motorbike right side up.
3. Slip the replacement cover over the front nose of the seat. Ensure that the seat is flat against the bottom.

Riding position may change if the user selects a replacement seat height that is different from what they are used to on the bike. On a commuter or a touring seat, the pocket may position the individual differently from what they would be used to in the past. In addition, a different seat density can affect the riding position. Certain density foams work better for different weights. Adjusting the seating positions may require the user to change their controls, so be sure to double check before going for a ride.
