Saddlebag lid stuck.

[Buckeye Chuck 54]

I sold my high mileage 2014 Spyder RT-S to my brother. Now we can't get the right side saddlebag lid to come off. The left side works fine but when the release is pulled you feel nothing. Is the cable broken? I know the adjusters are under the rear plastic, but you can't get to the screws, they're under the lid that's locked.

Thanks

Chuck

I don't know on a 14 but on a 2020 you remove the filler panel under the passengers hand grips and reach down and trip the locking lever

No different pushing in on door when latch is pulled or trying all doors at same time

Chuck, I also have a 14 and the left side was problematic after a few months of use .... a hard rap on the lid would help it release ... now the right side needs a rap .... I have seen posts on this site about adjusting the cables .... do a SEARCH ..... Mike

We tried a light rap with the ball of your hand to a rubber mallet. You pull the release on the left side and it opens as it should. But you pull the other side and there's no resistance, like the cable isn't attached. We tried pulling both sides at once and that same thing. I hate taking it to the dealer, but I don't know any other way.
I'll look at Longtimer's post, that may work. I know the 2014 is way different from a 2020, but it's worth a look.
Thanks to all.

You nailed it Longtimer! Problem solved. Brother Ken thanks you! As do I.
Now, how to adjust and lube cables? Is that from the back or each saddlebag?
