rumboogy Posted June 12, 2010 #1 Posted June 12, 2010 Yep...seat wobble and not front end wobble. Even though the seat is tightened up...I guess my fat A$$ still feels ever so slightly some movement and also some creaking. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Also...do you think a hard rubber washer between the seat and the mount would both TIGHTEN up the seat and also alleviate the creaking? Any other suggestions (besides losing weight). I weigh about 220lbs.
Bummer Posted June 13, 2010 #2 Posted June 13, 2010 Are all the rubbers support/spacers still there? I've had to replace two. The part that goes through the seat pan broke.
rumboogy Posted June 13, 2010 Author #3 Posted June 13, 2010 All I have going through mount holes is a bare screw shaft...no rubber parts at all. Wally
Bubber Posted June 13, 2010 #4 Posted June 13, 2010 All I have going through mount holes is a bare screw shaft...no rubber parts at all. Wally Look on the seat pan for some rubber bumpers that are used to support the pan from the bottom. The bolt studs do not have any rubber washers or the like. Bubber
gunkylump Posted June 13, 2010 #5 Posted June 13, 2010 220 ain't that bad....is the plastic guide on the back/bottom of the seat going into it's proper position? I've seen it slide u/neath it's spot and the seat then moves..... gunk:confused24:
rumboogy Posted June 13, 2010 Author #6 Posted June 13, 2010 OK...I just looked at the pan...the bumpers are there. I took it upon myself to go ahead and use a couple of the hard rubber washers between the seat screw shaft and the mounting wings. WOW...what a difference. TIGHTER than a DRUM. VERY SOLID. They'll stay for sure. Wally
Sleeperhawk Posted June 13, 2010 #7 Posted June 13, 2010 Also, did you put the big tab under the seat into the metal slot on the frame? I did not and had the seat wobble.
CMIKE Posted June 13, 2010 #8 Posted June 13, 2010 I know what you mean...if my bolts get a little loose..I have lost one already while running down the road...if it moves just a little it really unnerves me. Especially if I am in some twisties. I put some stainless fender washers and went with some nylon insert nuts to prevent mine from getting loose. I got mine from Lowes. It has worked for me.
KevinsDa1 Posted June 17, 2010 #9 Posted June 17, 2010 Since me seat no longer bolts on, I just have to wing it and hope that my skinny (snicker) frame will hold that bad boy down while I'm riding. Kevin
