Seat lock on R100RS stuck closed

[Kenny]

You'd think a scouser could get into anywhere wouldn't you ?

Selling my nice R100RS but when I closed the seat down...the lock now won't release to open the seat up...is there a trick to opening the seat another way Small metal button has no pressure so before I attack the bike with a grinder ( just kidding ) anyone else had this problem ?

Yep! Good luck!

Whose bike are you trying to get into? I'm guessing its Robs!?!?

Since I'm sitting in a crappy flat in Bracknell at the minute it could well be

I've seen this problem, but can't remember if it was my 90S or a friend's 100T. We used a long screwdriver to slacken the two pozi screws that hold the seat lock on to the frame, and waggled it while pressing the button. The seat then sprung out.

Good luck!

My gs's are both fine I was out on the pd at the weekend. It's my 100/7 that's got the worn final drive and a cracked rear drum. With 220k on it though it's had a good innings
