    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey guys. I just bought an 82 GS450L for my wife. I'm not familiar with the 450 series at all (I have an 850 - see below) so I gotta ask silly questions - like this one. How do I lift off the seat? It looks like it lifts from the front but I cna't figure out how. My 850 opens from the right side, but this guy is different.

Thanks in advance

Jim

manual is probably available at the basscliff website
 
I have an E which has a key latch on the rear cowling, but I think the L's are bolted on at the rear.

I'm pretty sure it won't lift off the front as I'm pretty sure they're all the same at the front in that there's a frame rail there the seat slides onto.
 
Yours is 2 years newer than mine so it might be different.

On my 1980 GS450L, remove the two 13 mm bolts above the turn signals on both sides. Once the bolt is removed, push the screw in and it should come out. Once that is done, lift the seat up.

Here's how mine looks.

These two tabs have a bolt that goes through it. They also hold up the turn signals.
