Thanks...I was now able to remove the rear plastic and seat! Some of us "do-it-yourselfers" need to learn as we go. The reason I'm even playing around with this bike is because the guy who had it before me didn't ask questions first. I'd rather be cautious than reckless. Some of us are mechanically inclined and some of us just think so!

Some of us are not mechanically inclined or good with people......Bad combination.

 

RAPTORYFM660r is right.

 

I tried to help, but I have only had my Lakotas for a month now, and haven't had to remove the seat. Mine are both 2001 Sport models, and I didn't know if there was a difference, so I checked the manual. Guess what? NOTHING about removing the seat anywhere in the book. This morning when I got up I went out and looked at mine, tugged on the seat, looked under it, and said, "if he looks under it, he will see the bolts!"

 

Denttech, I can't stress enough that if you, or anyone else fore that matter, plans on doing any wrenching on anything, Quad, Bike, Car, Truck, whatever. Do yourself a favor, visit your local dealer and invest in a service AND parts manual for whatever veicle your wrenching on. Not only will it make your life easier, you will be able to a better job. Break down and spend the bucks, cheap insurance. Good luck, Putt

 

And dont get all p!$$Y if nobody answers, maybe nobody thats on at that moment knows or the thred gets set back a few pages so none see's it. And Putt is right, service manual will save you many head achs.........and yet I haven't gotten one, hmmmmmm

 

And to take this just alittle further. I'd take a parts manual over a service manual any day. A service manual is excellent for spec's but not only does a parts manual make it alot easier when you walk into your local dealer (I always bring him part numbers of what I need, I found that alot of times, the person at the counter might not be the brightest person in the world, no offense) but the parts manual breaks everything down into exploded views. So not only does it show you how to tear something apart, more importantly, it'll show you exactly how it goes back togeather, capishe? Putt
