    Is there a way to ensure that no filthy ba.....rd wont open the seat and steal the seat it self or even worse the Micuni ECU thats located underneath?Has anyone made a mod on this?Every time i park the bike to non visible place im worried!!Is there a way to lock the seat to the rest of the bike?

    Fixed on the 630 ;)

    Still not very secure though, you could yank the front up if you felt like it...

    You may be able to adapt something like the locking hood pins for drag cars, the cheaper ones run ~$20

    :) Anyone who is dumb enough to steal the 610's seat I would say is disserveing it....
    How about snapping the ring out of it and making a tool you can put in the locking pin to open it, something small you can keep in your pocket, that way it won't be so easy for others to open it?

    That's what I did. Then all you need is a slot screw driver or a dime to open it.

    My 610 lives a very sheltered garaged life, in a place where you can probably leave it in a parking lot with the keys in it and it'll still wait there for you a week later...
    Is that ecu snatching a known issue or is it more like better safe then sorry?

    Mine has a locked garage too. I'm more worried about parking it at a burger joint and having someone pick my bike up and throwing it in the back of a pickup truck and stealing the whole thing - but I have full coverage insurance.

    That's what I mean, it seems slightly bizarre for someone to try and get his filthy little hands on a single component when it'll probably take him the same amount of time to call some of his boyfriends:love: and hoist the whole thing on the back of a pickup

    My search engine words are not finding a couple of posts I read quite a while back on replacing the seat anchor pin with a better locking mechanism.
    I am thinking I saw a bolt type replacement and receiver.

    Thanks.
