Suzuki Marauder Seat Removal
by Richard Ristow
The seat of your Suzuki Marauder can undergo a great deal of wear and tear if you ride the motorcycle frequently. You can repair seams, cracks, rips and splits in a seat, but a time will come when you must remove and replace it---especially with older motorcycles. Removing the Marauder's seat only involves loosening a few screws; you can have the seat off in a matter of minutes.
Step 1
Insert the Marauder's ignition key into the seat lock, and turn the key to unlock it.
Step 2
Look carefully at the rear seat bolt, which sits just behind the rear seat. You need either a socket wrench or a screwdriver with an appropriate tip to remove this bolt, depending on whether you bought the motorcycle used and the previous owner customized the seat.
Step 3
Pull the rear seat strap forward, then off the rear seat.
Step 4
Pull the rear seat up and from the Marauder. After doing so, you will reveal two screws at the rear of the front seat. Remove these screws.
Step 5
Lift up the front seat, and undo the tab near the full tank to detach the front seat.
