Title: 2013 M696 Seat Lock
Post by: pesto on April 12, 2015, 04:25:55 PM
I noticed my seat lock wasn't working, so I took off the seat and see this:

When I turn the key, it rotates, but nothing is really pulling on the cable that undoes the latch. What am I missing here? This is after a motodynamics tail tidy install last year. The seat lock worked for a while then stopped. Did something jiggle lose/fall out?

Any help appreciated, including a pic of your lock if you have the same tail tidy.

Thanks,

pesto

Thanks for the response! I think I found the piece you mentioned, tho I didn't know the name.

This is how a novice mechanic spends $70 xD. I think the good news is I can cannibalize the parts I need from a new OEM part and not have to use a separate key.
