Seat release R1150RT?

[ChitownRT]

You can start laughing now, but I just picked up my new 02 RT and can not figure out the seat release. Please help someone who is very sloooooow.

use your key in the back of the bike under the luggage rack.

Under the tail light you'll find a lock. Use your ignition key and the rear seat will release. You'll figure it out from there. Oh, if ever you cannot find your ignition key, check under the tail light. DAMHIK!

[ChitownRT]

Thanks for the help! : )

If only they were all that easy.

Thanks very much for posting that. I feel less stupid. I can't recall how long I went in circles at a rally, wracking my brains, before I remembered where the keys were.

Dang..why did you let the secret out. That is where I use to store my spare key...

I got so tired of "losing" my key in the seat lock that I did this with a $0.99 knob from Radio Shack:

 

 

I have since blacked out the white line and dot, and wet-sanded the surface to a matte finish; it's virtually invisible. Unless I'm in a location where I'm concerned about security, it's there permanently. Other than topping off the oil supply in the rear shock adjuster, this has been the best mod for money I have made to the bike.

was just going to remind the OP of where his key will be when he can't find it. that's a great idea selden.

Great idea Seldon, Why didn't I think of that. This forum has such great input and ideas

+1 Can't count the number of times I have "lost" my key that way!

Just don't tell your insurance company.

[Richard_D]

I would never leave my bike with a key that someone could steal the bike with out in the open like that.

[tallman]

Richard,

It is like the older beemers w/the universal key.

Most folks who would know what it was wouldn't steal the bike.

I still carry one of those, just in case...

Just remember where you live and where some of the rest of us live.
