I have an 86 radian too, and the seat wouldnt unlock for me either. WD-40 wont do the lock any good it dries up inside there. Use Marvels Mystery oil or graphite. The oil worked best for me but if its real bad try the graphite.

I have an '86 Radian that I bought for dirt cheap, which runs great but was crashed. Im building a bobber out of it and I'm wondering if anyone has ever done anything like this to a Radian. Ive seen people build bobbers out of many other Yamaha bikes like the xs650, but never a Radian. If anyone has seen another custom Radian or has one , I'd like to see how the bike came out.
