Either should operate it, if it wont budge, slip your hand in between the LHS seat panel and you should start to feel a cable, give it a tug and that should open the locking mechanism.

Re: seat lock which key!
One key should fit all
If you have a bike that has more than one key to open the tank and turn the ignition on then that suggests that at some time a new tank/fuel cap has been fitted.................or a new ignition switch.
Stolen recovered ?
Crashed?
Ex race bike ?
Any number of possibilities

Arent the seat locks all the same, by that i mean i think you can open them with any key as long as it fits in the slot??

Re: seat lock which key!
That may well be true Rob
But he does have two keys at least he says he does......ignition and fuel
It's not anything to worry about just gives the feeling of something strange ?

Re: seat lock which key!

mines a real fucker to get into! i think both keys are new cuts and you have to put the key about 2 thirds of the way in and wiggle. all the way in and it wont budge.
