How do you remove a seat from a polaris Indy 500?

Answer 1

The seat assembly contains the rear lights and gas tank. It is best if the gas tank can be emptied before removal to reduce the weight.

Laying on your back at the rear of the sled, look upward at the rear of the track. Remove two bolts from under the tail light assemblies. (Unplug any connections to electric hand warmers if 2-up or touring sled). With the bolts removed, the seat assembly can be lifted and will be free from the sled.

The plastic cover immediately in front of the gas cap holds down the seat assembly will need to be taken loose, but does not need to be removed. This plastic cover will need to be lifted upward so the seat can be pulled backward and so that the gas cap will pass under the plastic cover.

At the front left and right sides, there are one snap on each side located behind the plastic cover. These will need to be unsnapped. The seat may then be pulled toward the rear about 4-6 inches. There will be a fuel line and electrical connectors to disconnect for the tail lights (and hand warmers for the 2 up or touring machine).
