Mine a lil too but a lil wiggle of the key gets it loose

My dealer couldn't get it out for five minutes at delivery time. Embarassing. Now, I have to wiggle (hard) two to three minutes... I don't want to break the key off under there. Seems like a very poor design. What with the dirt and mud under the fender - why put a lockset there?

I know...I thought it a poor location too

I think there was a lot of oversight on "where does mud really get flung?" on this bike. I'm considering trying to retrofit my scrambler with some other way to release the seat. Push button or pull cable. I'm only storing my sunglasses under the seat anyway.

The thought of a pull cable hidden from view has been on my mind too

Under seat pull cable now in place and working, out of sight too

Great idea! Photo please? Simplest solutions are the best.

It is a bit too simple but putting a pic up that shows how to open my under seat storage may not be such a good idea...
