Maybe you could give this a go after the pry bar, large screw driver, FB hammer and finally the grinder :lol:

:shock: What! All the helpful advice you've got so far, and even with all the heavy machinery, you still haven't got your bike off that seat? :P

Seat removal for most bikes

1. Insert key into boot lock
2. Turn key
3. Lift pillion seat (not the one you're trying to take off)
4. Put pillion seat on floor, or table depending on furnishings available
5. have a 'fiddle' (thanks neka)
6. Now, most ive seen is the following methods,
  • there is either a pull wire (a loop made of wire you pull, which detaches the front seat);
    there is one bolt in the middle at the very front of where the pillion seat used to be.
    there is two bolts, one on the left, one on the right of the very front where the pillion seat used to be
    also, my spewzuki had allen key bolts at the front of the riders seat hidden by the apolstry you had to lift up
    .
Once you've figured out which one it is, if there are anymore, i'd would say i'd be interested to know, but really, its not that interesting
7. remove bolts
8. place bolts somewhere near pillion seat
9. remove front seat (this may feel like its not going to happen the first time, but trust me
10. put seat near pillion seat and bolts if they have been required to be removed.
11. have a fiddle
12. Stand and admire battery, if present
13. replace in reverse order.
14. have a fiddle
