Author Message   Milar Posted on Monday, January 08, 2018 - 08:25 pm:        The locking screw that holds the seat on my S1 is problematical when I put on my Corbin seat. The screw is too short and does a poor job of securing the seat. After my last ride the screw had come lose and the seat fell of when I dismounted. Before I tackle the problem, has anyone had this issue and come up with a solutions? Mike   Upthemaiden Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2018 - 08:17 am:        When I bought my bike it came with the stock seat and a corbin. I remember it would hold one tight, and the other didn't hold as well. I can't remember which one was better or not, and I can't remember if I had to add a washer under the screw or if I removed one to give it more grip. Either way, the two seats definitely aren't exactly the same. If there are washers on the seat screw, try removing them to give it more of a grip. If not, I've also heard of people putting heavy duty Velcro under there to hold it in place. Last time I messed with mine I noticed the screw didn't seem to be holding well(stock seat). I've been thinking in my head of other options, I may just try to rivet a plate under the seat it, drill it and put in a rivnut so I can put a real bolt in it. The thumb screws seems to be problematic on these bikes.   Milar Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2018 - 09:11 am:        >I may just try to rivet a plate under the >seat it, drill it and put in a rivnut so I >can put a real bolt in it. Good suggestions. Thanks! Mike   Milar Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2018 - 05:54 pm:        I tried shimming the bracket under the Corbin seat until it was similar to the stock seat. That worked pretty well. I'll try it for awhile and if it fails go to the rivnut and plate.

It ain't going NO WHERE! But it is an extra step every time you wish to remove the seat.   Upthemaiden Posted on Sunday, February 04, 2018 - 02:56 pm:        Good thinking. Maybe try thin braided metal cable and crimps for a more long term solution.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, February 09, 2018 - 08:49 am:        "Pfeiffenbergermax" is a spambot.
