As it can be seen from the video your bike's seat - like 100% of FZ/MT 09 1&2 Gen - has a huge gap between the tang and the holder on the tank that means that the seat wiggles A LOT. To solve this you could stick a proper size teflon chair leg pad under the tank holder roof, so that it can hold firmly the tang. it's invisible and effective. If the hooks are loose themselves, you could cover them with heat shrinkable sheath. A bit of silicone grease on the lock trigger it does no harm to make the open close process easier
Good observation and advice...I can see what you are saying by rewatching my video.... I've never noticed the looseness when I'm riding... probably because of all the downward force of my body on the seat....now you have me curious...
So you should probably mention that when you take off the seat it is the very back little square that releases only on the left of the bike. Video says it’s a removal and reinstall but the only thing you showed was the reinstall not taking it off after taking 45 minutes to figure it out I got it but would be helpful if you SHOWED THE WHOLE PROCESS
Thanks for the comment! You are right... To get the seat off, just turn the key and lift up on the rear of the seat while pulling slightly to the rear. It's a little harder to get back on properly... that's why I showed all the little mechanisms involved for reinstallation....glad you figured it out!
