I used the chart posted in the previous thread to figure out the year and it said K=89 so i guess its a 1989? Does that look like what is it? Also how the heck do you get the seat off?

Use your key in the lock on the left hand side near the rear foot peg (on the chain side).
there's only one problem with that, i don't have the keys, i got this off my buddy and he can't find them since its been sitting in his barn so long. so what now?
That I don't know.
Someone else might have had this problem before, I can't even check my bike as I drove the car to work.
Have a look in the wiki.
I'm not sure if this would work, or do anything for that matter. But you could remove the rear plastic fender, the part in the wheel well. There are 5 bolts holding it in. That might give you access to the wire that locks the seat down. :dunno_white:
No key? How are you going to start it up? Oh...
Seriously though, a locksmith could do the job for you. Not cheap though. I can't think of any real non destructive way to do it otherwise. I mean, you could probably find a way to snap the cable holding the seat down but then you have to fix it...

Sounds like a good place to start :thumb:
That is one clean 89 :bowdown: Looks good :thumb:
My lock cylinder came out. The follwoing is from a thread I replied to, and what I did!
I have not replaced the lock cylinder. I took a piece of wire and hooked it to the latch and it comes down by the lock cylinder. I pull on the wire and the latch releases. Cheap and easy fix. :thumb:

A few weeks ago, my daughter and I rode two up. We stopped at our zoo and when we tried to "pop" the seat to lock our helmets we noticed the lock cylinder was gone. I am not sure how long it has been gone. So we carried our helmets.
The only way I figured to get into it was to remove the screws from the rear fender and it fell down onto the wheel. I then took a screw driver to manually "trip" the latch to release the seat.
Mine only has the cable that goes into the seat lock...no seat lock. I just pull it to pop the seat.
as Lissa said.
follow the cable from the seat lock on the left side and give it a tug with 2-3 fingers while putting light downward pressure...tap..pat...slap...what ever on the seat
or just take a long screw driver and lift up on the seat. if you push at the little clip for the cable on the latch (under the seat) it'll undo the latch. or pull out the inner fender and pull the latch from below.
The clip on bars shoulda gave away the year...I think they only did that for 1 year. I guess they could be aftermarket. My buddy lost his trunk key for his Ford Tempo. A long flat screwdriver, big hammer, and drive that bastard in till you can turn it. Pretty much destroyed the whole assembly, but now he can get in his trunk. But that bike looks pretty nice, I'd be leary of the brute force method. Have you tried telekinesis??? Just will it off.... :icon_lol:
I've decided to just part the bike out, its gonna be near impossible to find an engine for it and plus i want a sportbike... im going to put it up in the for sale thread.. email me at npalinchik@yahoo.com if you need any parts.
you may want to check adjustment of your chain. and headers.
the motor's obviousely fine, it flew right the hell outta there.
I Think Hes Already Sold Most Of It lol , damn Good Condition for a 18 year old bike tho :thumb:
