spakerd Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hello all, new to this forum thanks for your time. I just bought a 1986 yx600 radian. pretty good shape, but the seat wont unlock, preventing me from opening it. i've tried wd-40, key wiggles back and forth, can hear lock mechanism moving under the seat, but it wont unlock. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndickey Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have to push down on the seat while i turn the key to get mine to open. takes the pressure off of the latch i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? I dont know much about your bike butin the past I have had seats that will not open if the forks are locked hey its worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
