Title: seat locked i right side on Downtown 300i
Post by: erickattrup on September 30, 2019, 03:07:57 PM

My seat is locked in right side, and can´t be opened, with the key. Last time it occurred, I pulled the cable from the ignition switch, but now it will not open.
The left side is open.
Any suggestions?

turn the key and hit the seat over the latch hard!!! it may work   once it is open adjust the cable so it pulls even on boths sides , or re move one latch on the end of cable

My seat is still locked. Anybody who knows, if the side body can be removed, with the seat closed?

The seat and tub must be removed before you can remove the rear (one piece, sides included). Try removing the air filter to get at the two adjusters. Pull on those like you pulled at the ignition cable.

 if Karls idea do not work ,  you will take the front end off,.  f 1 bolt take off the cable from the ignition and pull on the cable there,.

Thank You De Dee. I have tried pull the cable - but not dismounted it first, so that I will try.

yes reaching up and pulling on the cable is just wiggeling it ,  and I am to old to get down on my knees to do that  86 years old,  much easyer to remove front end and I can see what I am doing,  one pull and it is done,  I removed the last locking part and removed the light from the box, so if I leave the box unlocked it does not run the battery down,
