Might be silly of me, but did you leave the key in the seat lock? It's something like the gas cap lock. You have to leave the key in it until you are done.
Wait till you have to put the seat back on. I had lots of practice with my CB500XA, so this seat is not too hard for me to lock down.
The toughest thing for me is the putting this porker on the center stand. I weigh 220 pounds and have 26 years of experience putting a dozen different motorcycles on their main stand without a problem. But for some odd reason this one tends to lean towards the rider. Which of course is much better than having it pitch away from you. But both feet of the stand must be firmly planted to hoist this oinker to her position of rest.
