Default Seat removal

I know this is a simple question but how do I remove the seat on my night train? I take out the screw on the back & try to slide the seat off but the strap is holding it down. I hope this doesn't win the DA question of the month award

Default RE: Seat removal

Don't worry about it. No question is 'dumb'. Unless its one you DON'T ask, cause odds are not knowing the answer to that oneis going to get you into trouble or cost you money.
The seat is held down with the screw in the back and a tab that hooks under the frame at the back of the tank.
If you lift up the rear of the seat a little and pull it back about 3 or 4" is should unhook.
Then all you have to do is lift the front to slide itforward and out from under the strap.
