Sounds like both cables are either disconnected at the levers in the back or at the side compartments. I bet the other owner was doing some repairs and forgot to hook them back up. Nice looking bike and
I have the same problem. You probably need to push on the corresponding saddle door while pulling the lever to open it. Mine will open up at that point.
Since I'm new to the Spyder (had a Harley for several years), how can I access the cables?
@Ex-Rocket....Thank you!!!!
Open the rear top trunk and start removing the screws for the Tupperware. The cables will be were the top truck latch is located or just below that area.
I would try to tap/push the side cover while pulling the latch first

Hello! I recently purchased a 2014 RT S and cannot seem to get the side compartments to open. Any thoughts or suggestions??
If a push on the front of the side compartments while pulling the lever does not open it then open the trunk and with a flashlight look down each hole to see if the cable is connected. You can see it move as you pull the lever.
My left saddle bag will only open if I pull the lever then give a bump as if to close it with my hand.
