2015 Yamaha YZFR1M (YZFR1MFC) Seat | Part Shark

I have the instructions from Yamaha. Looks as though it should be a straight shot to put the two bolts in, but the bracket appears to not be bent far enough to prevent the plastic section from being in the way. Anyone else have this issue?

 

I have taken mine on and off a few times. Can you take a pic of what you are talking about?

 

I didn't have an issue with the bracket on mine. Just bolt and install.

It's still a mayor pain in the ass to bolt the cowl though. There is a specific angle else it'll take forever.

I will complain about it forever... Why not keep the damn key locking mechanism as previous years.

 

I cut the ears off the plastic bracket on both sides, Way easier to get the screws in and lined up properly

 

Same thing I did it works very well now

 

To make it a bit easier I got some button head bolts to replace the hex head bolts that were supplied with the cowl. It's nice not having to jam a 10mm socket into the access cut-outs in the pad.

Me too!

 

This took a long time to install in a dark garage. I removed one of the single bolts that holds the pad down, even without the bolt the thing shouldn't fly off. I don't think I want to ever install the cowl again.

 

I remember this... I tried for hours to mount the seat cowl. Gave up and decided to come back to it the next day finally got it mounted, it's a bitch to get lined up properly.

 

I used longer bolts, works a treat now, soo much easier.

 

I wanted to reopen this thread. I am thinking about putting this on my 2016 Matte Grey. Bike bandit has it for $229.00 free shipping. But I have my PCV Autotuner cable tucked under the passenger seat and I tune my bike every few days. Is it that much a pain in the ass to remove and reinstall considering now I just twist the key and go? Thanks for the input.

 

Yes.

 

If only they did something logical like put the keyhole under the tail like the R6... Cowl install takes 15 seconds....

 

Thanks for convincing me to redirect that money burning a hole in my pocket! It is going to the Dynojet Pod300 instead.

 

I've had a Chinese cowl on all of my bikes and have yet to have an issue.

The YZF-R1® Rear Seat Cowls features:

* Stylish cushion and the R-1 logo
* Comes in coordinating model colors
* High-quality finish that complements the YZF-R1 styling and flows with the contour lines of the rear tail section
* Installs in minutes


It look nice, but bad design. Also, it said installs in minutes is just a joke. Now I've to decide either to cut the plastic or get other bolts to replace it.

 

Hi would you be able to send me a pic please.
Thank you
