Seat lock stuck problem

[White Dog_imp]

I'll ditto what popgun says. You might have a problem with the key. Mine has been known to be "finicky" at times. Does your key go into the lock very far? It will only go maybe 1/2" or so. Try this: See if the helmet latch will move up or down. You might have it jammed, thus the lock cylinder not turning very far. Have patience. You'll get it to work. Go easy with the key in that lock.

Don't think the license paperwork has caused this problem.
