    don't you hate how the seat/fenders on atc250r's fly off, heres something for that

    I fellow 3ww member made me aware of this. don't you hate how the seat/fenders fly off your bike when hitting whoop sections


    go to www.jlatvproducts.com and then online catalog and then seat latch, you will see something that doesn't appear right

    it happened to me twice, once it scratched the hell out of my plastics(this happened riding on the railroad tracks) and the other time hitting a whoop section on a track.

    Never happened to me either. Is your latch spring worn out?

    you need to make sure your latch spring is good, then another thing is the seat rubbers that actually holds tension on it all when you snap the seat / fenders into place.
    im sure thats the problem.
    i have never had any fall off.

    I think the latches and the rubber stoppers get worn because this used to happen everytime I jumped my 350X. I made a bolt / Wing nut set up now that keeps them on tight.
