Hi all, I just introduced myself last week having bought a 2012 850HO Touring. It was a demo and though it only has 300 miles and about 44 hours on it...they were hard miles and hours. I want to take care of a few little issues with it before it gets brought to my cabin forever.
The first issue is that the touring seat wobbles sideways when you install it. It moves side to side a lot. if you grab the top with your hand and wiggle it there is a lot of play and honestly doesn't seem to stay on very well. I could see the whole seat coming loose on the trail if someone was sitting on the touring seat on certain terrain. It is snapped in all the way but the it just has a huge amount of play.
For those that have this type of seat on a 550 or an 850, how much does your seat wobble? I'm trying to figure out which part is worn and needs replacing.
Thanks
