It is ages I do not use the key to open unlock the seat, us to carefully push the seat forward i think you can unlock it (it is what I do with mine) Alternatively use a scredriver (a big one) as lever and carefully push it out.

Hello all, does anyone know how to retrieve keys locked in the storage tray under the seat? I forgot they were there and duh, locked the seat down. I will try to take the rear light cover off in the morning, but if anyone knows another way please advise.. Spazmo |

don't feel stupid or anything  I have one car with a push button remote thing ( which drives me nuts ) and a Ford Capri with the ole key ( remember them ) and I have locked the keys in that car at least 6 times I can directly recall ( usually because of the state of panic I was already in when it happens) and there have been other " casual" locking of the keys............usually when some inquisitive bastard wants to talk about the crutches and leg et all , and distracts me (its NEVER my fault ). I will have to get a central locking kit before I get it painted as the door and frame are down to the metal where I have been installing coat hangers .............................aint never locked my keys under the seat tho .....

Have you considered turning the bike upside down and shaking it until the key falls out?  I think if you can drop the rear inner fender, you should be able to access the storage compartment. Not sure how fasteners are on inside of fender though. Been a while since I had all that apart......I'm pretty sure going into the taillight is a dead-end though because the seat has to be off to fully remove the tail light mount. |

The seat pan will flex enough (has for me when I did the same) that if you grab both sides and push forward while lifting near the middle of the seat, it will bow a little, effectively shortening it’s length, letting it move free of the rear latch. |
