how do you unlock seat with battery removed?
« on: November 08, 2012, 06:16:21 PM »
i hope the subject line makes sense.

i'm getting ready to remove the battery for winter storage.

if i remove the battery and shut the seat, will the seat still open using the ignition key?

I think that the cable to the seat is mechanical, so turning the key will open the seat without electrical connection!

Looking in the service manual, there is a seat lock cable.  So I guess it is manual, not electric.

You are correct, the seat is cable operated not electrical....tear away !
Dont forget to keep the battery on a battery tender/minder to keep it charged up in the off-season.

thanks for the quick responses, guys.

i just finished removing the battery and, like the guy that wears suspenders AND a belt, and just for the hell of it, also removed this:



obviously overkill, but when i have a screwdriver in my hand, no screw is safe.
