Underseat Storage?

Mine still on order and I'm nearly 2 hours from my dealer so....On my test ride I never checked if there was any underseat storage at all. Could one of you lucky ones who've already taken delivery post a photo of any space there is please. I cant find a picture anywhere on the web.

Can I get a disclock under there? maybe a cable?

You will get a disk lock under the rear seat which opens with key. The main seat only opens with 2 allen key screws which I have not tried opening The rear seat has a small tool bag already in itWP_20140329_002.jpg

Lone ranger what you got in your tool bag only had a c spanner and extension in mine can't see the point in that under seat there is a basic set of tools clipped on the rear seat base on mine

Thanks loneranger - nice pic. And more space than I expected! Certainly a disk lock, maybe a cable too (I have a Xena14 with the accessory cable). Looks like Yam have provided some loops to secure a tail pack?
Also I agree with busey - I'm sure I'm unlikely to need to adjust my rear pre-load when out on a ride, so I think that might not earn its space under the seat.

I wonder if this official seat cover replaces the pillion seat and therefore gives useful extra space? (Rather than simply sitting on top of the original)

I've managed to get an oxford disk lock and keys, spare buff and a wadge of kitchen roll/garage towel (good for visor cleaning etc) in with the tool bag. I might think about taking the tool bag out as you've suggested!

Also a good quick place to store the garage/house key so it isn't in a jacket pocket.

Well, I can advise against storing anything too small under the seat. I found my keys hanging between the rear plastics and frame after a pannicky search today - only held in by the chunky car key!

Cue embarrassment!

I had a nice black zip seal type bag with mine think it was to carry your handbook/service book might be handy for the small item's under seat
