Key stuck in seat lock mechanism

[jono035]

its stuck halfway of a turn. so its at 45 degrees. i dont think its the lock barrel but the mechanism thats connected to it holding the seat. but i could be wrong. what you think?

if it's anything like the VFR, the mechanism presses on a lever that does the actual opening, so it shouldn't be able to get stuck from a seat end... Any way you can pull a piece of fairing off to get at it?

yeaa im gonna try pull the back fairing off, will require abt of bending of the seat though but cud be the best option.

If it absolutely will not come out, take take the bike to someone with a little angle grinder or dremel, and start cutting around the key. Do the maths on what's expensive and whats not, and start cutting off the least expensive bits. Eventually, you will get your key back at least.

Ridiculously worthless advice DB.

Turn it all the opposite way and see if you can move it.

On a Hyosung this would result in starting cutting at the top of the tank and finishing at the sump, amirite?

Although let's face it, this would only be an improvement.

This happens to me whenever i fail to put the seat back on properly and accidentally force it locked... good luck it takes a fair bit of wiggling as for you either the seat is holding the lock too tight to move it or the lock itself has locked up for some reason...

could be worse - your one and only set of keys could be UNDER the seat

ahahaha DB.

Or you could take the cable (that unlocks the seat) off to lube and then you decide to go for a ride and put the seat back on

S'not that hard to get a new key... or do you have HISS? Dont bother trying to remove the side plastics without the seat first, you'll fook em where they bolt on at the front

Yeah, thats nto fun, you gotta try to shake the keys into a place you can squeeze your fingers under the seat, and theres no way you can really do it because of the shape, and its not easy to tip the bike in the way you need

got it sussed guys, thank god. Ehab came around and found that the holes that are covered by the grab rail looks directly at the lock mechanism. It was just stuck. Thanks for all the advice!
