No...

You can prize the seat up & hook the cable for the seat latch...

Helps if the hooks have been removed, if they haven't all is not lost as they can be removed by just undoing the nut that holds them in place. 10mm spanner to get to the nut.

Been there done that...

Mac, well done mate, I had a feeling you posted up about this, but was unable to find it in a quick search earlier.

Seat cowl. With the seat off.

Place seat nose down in front of your legs with the underside facing out.

You will see 2 lugs gently lift them off the pins, & slide it off.

As you can see this one has some damage to one of the lugs but its the holes that locate to the pegs on the underside of the saddle.
