Passenger Seat stuck
#13
That was why I asked the question before, as it crossed my mind that some one could have changed the seat lock at some point.
Does the key turn at all in the lock ? I ask because on the 1000 you have to pull the seat backwards then up to get it off, which had me fooled for a minute or two.
Other than that, it's perseverance with the oil until it frees up, keep on jiggling the seat, even giving it a gentle bash downwards with your fist, don't go crazy though LOL
Another idea is to buy a set of jigglers (locksmiths tool) and learn how to use them. I found it useful when I worked as the caretaker of a big college, people losing keys all the time.
D.D.

OK, last idea, then I'm out... LOL
Fashion a hook on a piece of wire, push it under the seat and try and hook the latch, yellow arrow, in the direction of the green arrow ( back of the bike) This will release the catch, red arrow. TaaDaaa.
This will work on the thou if the 600 is the same you will be ok.
