• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2010 RT key mechanism failing to open frunk - any suggestions on fixes? Or just go to a manual release?

Just picked up my 2010 RT with less than 30k. It was working fine on Wednesday - but now the seat and frunk won't unlock. I lubed the cables after manually releasing both. The key turns a bit right while pressed but no turn at all left for the frunk. I have taken most of the console apart and saw that one cable was not in the right spot. I put it back into the right spot and it is still not working. I am including a picture of what it was like. Are there any suggestions on HOW to get the ignition mechanism out and service it or replace? Does the fairing have to be completely removed to get to it? Any suggestions? Or should I just say forget it and put a manual release in? Any help greatly appreciated to get this (older) but beautiful bike fully functional again.
