#112085 SoonerFlash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I have had extreme difficulty removing the seat. It seems as though the latch does not work correctly. I have attempted to lubricate the mechanism but still have problems getting the thing to unlatch like it should. Has anyone else had this problem and if so,,,,,how did they solve it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112087 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I just push down on the seat at the tank and then turn the key and it comes right off, If I didnt do that I would twist the key off!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #112089 sal (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 24 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I've found that mine needs pressure on the seat right at latch. Hope this helps Sal   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112090 StarCruiser06 (User) If you can't be with the one you love... Wait! Gold Boarder Posts: 895 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Yep! Next time you go to lube it... get something that will let you get grease into the "reaches" of he latch... as well as the latch where it meets the "loop"... Try white lithium grease too... Also, spray a little (the WD-40 of your choice...) down the key slot...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/24 20:31 By StarCruiser06.   Over 50...?

Once you get the seat off, lube the latching mechanism real good with WD-40. Fixed mine, good luck.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/24 21:08 By Scotto.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112122 cruiser (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 319 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I have had the same problem no matter how I pushed on the seat or turned the key it would not release. I know you have to press down on the key and turn it to the left but it did not work. I ran picture frame wire through the part of that lock that releases the catch and at the end I crimped a metal fastner to the end to keep the wire from slipping out. I then ran the wire down the down pipe of the seat and made a loop. So now in the rear instance it does not open I just tug on the wire and it opens like a dream Ron   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/24 21:56 By cruiser.   The true worth of a man is how he treats someone when there is nothing to gain. url=\\\\\\\"http://www.mytriplogs.com\\\\\\\"] [url=\"http://www.mytriplogs.com\"] Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels Free, personalized travel maps at   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112131 PapaTom (User) Have Star - Will Travel Platinum Boarder Posts: 1385 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   cruiser wrote: I know you have to press down on the key and turn it to the left but it did not work. Ron Ron, pressing down on the key and then turning it left allows you to lock your forks only. Don't press down on the key, turn it slightly to the left, and the latch should release. Maybe that's what you meant anyway.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112132 iminthegaragedear (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 64 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I'm a newbie and was having trouble with mine too, til I read the manual where it says do not push down on the key. I was working on the bike today and found that the most effective way with mine involved gently pushing the seat down while turning the key.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp97/randallbottom/IMG_04682.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112136 cruiser (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 319 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I should hang up my keys another senior moment. I got it wrong after five years. sheessss. I was doing it correctly even the dealer had trouble removing it and pressing the seat down did not get it off finally it popped off. I think that there is a problem with the pully system on some of the bikes and turning the key is not always strong enough to pull the latch. But as I said in the off chance it gets jammed I pull on the wire. I think the reason it happens to me is that I have the tool bag overloaded and maybe it is putting upward preasure on the seat Ron   Logged     The true worth of a man is how he treats someone when there is nothing to gain. url=\\\\\\\"http://www.mytriplogs.com\\\\\\\"] [url=\"http://www.mytriplogs.com\"] Sig Pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels Free, personalized travel maps at   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112164 daglassguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 65 Re:Difficulty removing the seat 3 Months, 1 Week ago   Had the same trouble with mine. Finally got tired of hoping the seat would release. Installed a cable with knob that comes out just below front corner of seat. Never have any trouble getting seat off now. Its a quick easy fix for anyone who cares to do same. Just attach cable to same lever the original release is on. I didnt remove my original release cable so if I want to spend some time in suspense I still can.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
