Hi All,

Just bought a 1995 fzr600 and I can't work out how to take the rear seat off, can't see any locks for it?

Thanks

You do not state where your location is or the exact model of your bike.

I'll take a guess and presume if its a '95 then it is a FZR 600R 4JH foxeye.....anything else and the seat lock mechanism is as plain as day to find.

Look to the l/h side of the numberplate light, below the tail light.



The key releases the pillion seat...once removed a small lever just behind the centre of the riders seat is pulled back to unclip the riders seat.

Thanks mate I feel like a bit of an idiot now , it's my first bike so not something I'm used to looking for.
It's a 600r and that's about all I know, how do I go about finding the exact model I have? I'm in bedfordshire

If the seat lock is in the position I described then you have the model I guessed at. FZR 600R 4JH.

In the UK there were 2 models imported.

The FZR 600 3HE..which came in two variants...Twin round headlight and Trapezoid.( most parts interchange.)
The other is the FZR 600R 4JH(1995/96) a two year model run with foxeye or teardrop shaped lights.

They are totally different machines in many respects.

To complicate matters the 4JH is called a YZF 600 in USA which then causes further confusion as it is the same designation as the UK Thundercat

All models come in varying colourschemes.

A pic. surpasses over 1000 words.

You may notice I eventually got the lawn cut

You would not be alone in the question of seat lock location.
I bought a Kawasaki ZXR 750 years ago.....it came with a brand new workshop manual with one dirty page.
The lad spent £16 to find out how to remove the riders seat once the pass. seat was removed.

Ah seems I have the 4JH version then

Just picked it up last week so I'm sure there will be plenty of things to confuse me over time

Thanks for your help

Very nice.

They seem a very underated motorcycle.
Cheap to purchase and readily available parts at economy prices.

The colourschemes are a bit of; like it or hate it though for most motorcyclists.

Unfortunately since I bought mine in April and stripped and refurbished most of the parts I have not had time to ride it even.


Never mind; there is next year hopefully.
