Help, anybody had this before and knows a solution
« on: 24 July 2017, 04:50:41 pm »
today I  had my seat off whilst fitting a Scottoiler and when I put my seat back on it didn't fit all the way in, now the bugger won't come off again, it's like the lock has jammed, anybody have a solution to my problem.

WD40 is the solution to everything. Like gaffer tape and excel spreadsheets  :lol

Yes, light pressure on the seat where the rider would normally sit is the solution, it's the same when you have soft luggage on with straps under the seat.
