Need some ideas (wobbly seat)

Gentlemen,

My FX50 has the incredibly aggravating issue where the seat shifts slightly when I brake & accelerate.

Long story short I took it in once and the dealer wouldn't fix it.

This time, I had a great conversation on the phone with the service manager and basically I'm going to come in next week, and I'm going to personally ride with one of the techs.

Now, here's where I need help:

I have been thinking of a way to devise a method to physically show the seat is moving, but I don't have many ideas. The best thing I thought of so far was something like a bubble level on the side of the seat that me and/or the tech could watch, and it would hopefully show the seat shifting, but I'm not sure.

If you guys have any better ideas, I would be extremely grateful!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dan.
 
measure between seats to show amount of travel assuming only one seat is loose
 
I had the same issue when I bought my '12 LE used from the dealer this year....after several complaints they finally replaced the entire seat track under warranty...problem solved.
 
Are you a big, heavy guy? Check the mounting points, could just be a loose nut/bolt etc..... (same thing happened to me in my 09 and it was a "loose bolt")

It could also be that it is not locking on the track correctly.
