Noob mistake..

[curtis0432]

Hi Guys,

I just got an FZ6 a week ago and i LOVE it! This was the first time I took of the seat. When i put it back on I put it back in incorrectly. Now I cant seem to get it back off. What I did was i slid the seat back on and pressed down and heard a click. Then i noticed that the didn't look like it was on right so i tried turning the key to unlock the seat, the key wouldn't turn the lock cylinder.
IS there a way that i can get it off without breaking something and put it back on correctly?

Thanks,

Curtis

it might be that it because it is not installed correctly that there is pressure on the latch, enough so the lock wont turn easy, Try pushing down on the seat above the latch and turning the key at the same time.

+1 on the above (towards the rear, where the latch resides)...

Glad you got it sorted out.

Also, just as a tip, if you are taking off the seat to adjust the preload on rear shock, make sure you take the key out of the lock before you do it. Otherwise, you may slip, hit the key, and bend it at a 45 degree angle, not that i'm speaking from experience or anything. :spank:

My husband just admitted to bending the key on my FZ when he adjusted the preload on my rear shock. He is "Macgyver" for real so I was really surprised he did that. Good advice for everyone. Thanks!!!

Oh yeah I haven't done that either...

Any mistake that can be fixed without costing money is just a mistake. Now if you f up and ruin something that will cost you-that's a noob mistake.

I thought I was the only one who bent the key
