Seat rocks
I can't say when it started but I have an annoying problem. When I come to a sudden stop my seat rocks forward about 2 inches or so and falls back when I stop. I was riding with my Dad in the passenger seat and he mentioned his seat doing the same thing! Is something not locked down like it's supposed to be?

Look under the seat in the back with the seat all the way forward.
Should be two goldish hex bolts on each rail. If the seats were pulled by previous owner locktite may not have been put back on the bolts. If they look stripped order new bolts before you mess with it.

It is best to remove it but if you can rock the seat back and forth then you know you have a problem in either case it is best to check everything out I would hate to see it happen worse under acceleration and you loose control. Try lifting on the front and rear by reaching under the seat and lifting if you have movement I would start there.
