Agility 50 / Seat Catch Failure
« on: April 21, 2012, 05:09:05 PM »
Scooter is working fine BUT yesterday I turned the key to pop the seat lock to get at my helmet and nothing happened - no release of the latch. I saw a Utube video of a guy who showed you how to emove the taillight assembly (two screws) and access the latch and release it. Works on his scooter brand but not mine. Can NOT do that on the Agility 50 because only the front seat pops up. the rear seat is fixed and the taillight, once removed, does not give any access.
So problem # 1 is how to get the seat to release. I am contemplating 2 solutions. One is exposing the key cyclinder contacts and using a short piece of wire to short together any two of the contacts. This might work if the failure was in the key cyclinder. Two, I start removing bodywork by taking out the rear seat to see if I can slip a piece of flat metal into the latch and release it. Next choice is remove a lot of body parts.
Problem # 2 is figuring out if the real problem is with the latch, the key cyclinder or the connecting cable. There has been no trouble or accidents with this scooter which is a 2009 model.
