today i dis-assembled and re-assembled the back half of my bike (it needed a good cleaning, dust and mold.. fun stuff...) and when i put it back to-gether i forgot to re-attatch the cable from the lock to my seat, is there a way to take the seat OFF without having to break something?
I don't know the answer off hand, but it has come up here a few times. If somebody doesn't reply with a solution, a quick search would probably bring it up.
ahhh okay, i thought i was the only one lol i know without the rear plastics i could get the seatoff with a long screw driver but i JUST put them back on, major facepalm
Coat hanger! Lift on the seat and shimmy it in. Takes a little while but the BF and I have done it a few times :oops: usually takes about 5 minutes to catch the seat latch.

Well i did get it, 2 screw drivers and i had it open, would have been much easier if i got someone to hold the flashlight, but i guess it's too much fun watching me balance it on my shoulder... anyways, once i got it the plasic on the back decided to break for no reason (go-figure, it's perfectly fine till AFTER im done), and of-course it was after i spent 10 minutes getting the bolt off of there.. although on the bright side next time i dont have to take the bolt out since thats the part that broke lol
and thanks for the tips!
I dropped my keys under the seat once and forgot about them in there and put the seat back on. Lucky for me the seat could bend enough for me to reach in there and barely get them out without needing to pop the seat.
I did this once but luckily my rear plastics were off . :icon_mrgreen: I was moving the bike while in the middle of working on it. Gave me enough of a scare that I've always remembered since.
When I got my bike it didn't have plastics or the key latch release. I just stuck my hand in there and pushed the arm over on the release. So when I finally got my plastics a year later I took a couple days to paint them up and get them looking good I stuck them on and realized I couldn't remove the seat.Luckily the seat didn't break when I pryed it up.
