Pillion Seat Stuck
ok i have a slight problem i brought my ZXR 400 and it was delivered on sunday its all sweet so far but my brother had a look took the pillion seat off and then put it back on but he put it on wonkey and now its stuck does anyone know a simple way to release it cos the key dont work and iv tried giving it a good pull but i dont want to bust the plastics.
Also i have just had this bike and it has no service history, what would you suggest i do with it ie should i change the oil/ air filter or send it to a mechanic for an engine service of some sort the bike is from 1993.
Thanks in anticepation

can't remember which bike it was now but i think when the rear seat was unlocked and removed there was a strap about 10" long from the seat to the frame to stop people nicking the seat.

ah rite a pair of sissors would do it then hardly seems worth puttin 1 on. they would have done far better tryin to move that cable out the way abit more but it was easy for me to sort the problem out and ill not park it up alone anyway except my garage.

so they nick your seat, try to run off and pull the bike over? great move
personally I wouldn't be two worried about someone pinching it. although some thieving git in bath nicked the filler cap off my 125, and even more bizarrely replaced it with a different one.
