yeah, mine seems to barely turn at all.

Alas...I remember when I was retarded...Happy times. A new to me bike and no idea how to open the seat, followed by no idea where my "helmet lock" was. Good times indeed!

speaking of which, where is the helmet lock?

[Knucklehead]

That I am not sure. I hadn't gone specifically looking for yet it but I don't remember coming across it when washing it either.

Ah memories !
When you take the seat off , look at the frame near the battery . See that little hook there ? THAT'S your helmet lock .

So you hook your helmet's D-ring onto it and then just put the seat back on...?

My 93 750 has had a problem with the seat from the day I bought it. My key too only turns about 20 degrees or so,so this is what I do.Turn the key easily until it stops the while the key is still turned to the open position pull the cable then let go of the key. While you have the cable pulled down lift up on the rear left of the seat then the right,let go of the cable and turn the key again lift up gently on the seat and it should release.Got that?Anyway it works good on my bike. Good luck dude.

Funny, that is EXACTLY how I open mine!

[slayergsxf1]

Pain in the ass aint it?

Once in a while I noticed mine doesn't want to turn very well either, and I press down on the seat a bit, and turns just fine.

[Knucklehead]

It's a viscous circle at times. You fiddle with it and get the back popped up but then sometimes you need to push it down to get the key turned....... which then locks the back down again.......rinse and repeat

I notice that too when I try and pack too much stuff under the seat..then i have to sit on it to close it
