To determine which model of rider you have, you will need to locate the rider’s model plate, located under the seat, as in Fig. 1-1. Simply flip the seat up and locate the model plate, which will consist of an 11 digit/letter model number and a serial number. For ease in this installation and for future use, copy your rider’s model number & serial number below now:
