If so don't just go up and start freakin out. Have a well thought out and articulated talk with the service manager. If he's no luck then ask to speak with the store manager/owner. Hopefully they see the damage and make it right.   J_copeland Posted on Tuesday, April 06, 2010 - 02:28 pm:        Yes,it was after the harness upgrade.I didn't see the scuffs in the bright sunlight,and did check out the bike when I picked it up,but didn't think to look at the seat bolts.   Xnoahx Posted on Tuesday, April 06, 2010 - 02:39 pm:        Part of the harness update is an update to the flash, if they did the upgrade you will have the newest flash   Kidder Posted on Tuesday, April 06, 2010 - 03:50 pm:        Part of the harness update is to ENSURE you have the latest flash. I already had the 152 flash for my CR when I got the harness update.   Jules Posted on Tuesday, April 06, 2010 - 04:17 pm:        If they damaged the seat bolt then demand they repair it...Start of being polite obviously but be firm and stand your ground. And then get a seat retention kit from Americansportbike: http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/A16501.html It'll simplify seat removal and stop it happening again   Ride4life Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2010 - 01:23 pm:        Jules, that kit looks pretty trick, do you have it and if so what's your opinion?   Jules Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2010 - 01:39 pm:        I have it and it's fantastic... There's actually a small amount of underseat storage that you can then make use of 'cause the seat pops off in moments.. Definately a useful investment (especially as those captive nuts have a bad habit of stripping)   Geforce Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2010 - 01:40 pm:        That kit is awesome. I have had it for over a year now and it works great and makes putting the seat on and taking it off a breeze. Well worth the money.   Tbenson Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2010 - 01:58 pm:        I too have the seat kit. I agree with all posted above.   Johnnys999 Posted on Thursday, April 08, 2010 - 04:42 pm:        Its just a matter of time before the seat bolt threads strip and the same goes for the airbox cover bolt holes. I've already stripped one of them and also one of the seat bolt holes. The upgrade kit is the way to go it looks like, so I'd better buy one. This problem was an engineering oversight that should have been caught a long time ago.
