I had this problem the day after I got my CB home. The mechanism releases a latch via cable at the back of the seat. Since the stock seat is somewhat flexible, I was able to bend it enough in the middle to release the front from the tank as well as the hooks around the center of the seat. I reached in and manually pulled the cable with my hand and it released the seat. It seems the cable got jammed or something, so I had to play with it a little bit until it started operating properly using the the latch on the helmet lock. No problems since. Hope this helps.
