OPPS Ultimate Seat Problem

[Yelhelp]

I just installed my Ultimate Seat on my 2011RT , and I thought I had the release adjusted so it was correct. I lifted the seat a few times to make sure. Sunday I installed a Bajaron Anti sway bar so wanted to take a little ride and test . When I got back home I was going to plug in the Battery tender and now the seat will not release. What I should have done I guess was put some lock tight on the bolt that locks the seat. What to do what to do???/:banghead: any help will be good :bowdown::bowdown:

When I got my spyder the seat wasn't tightened so when riding the whole thing would shift forward. Thankfully this happened when I was out in a group of spyder riders.

Pushing down and back on the seat (and I mean REALLY pushing) while also turning the key worked. You kind of had to finagle it.

I went back to the dealership for my service and they tightened the seat and had to move the pin back a bit.

Good luck!

Have you tried hitting the seat where the latch is as you turn the release with the key?

You may have to reach down and losen the hinge bolts on the seat so you can slide it forwards (or backwards) to realign the pin. When the bolts are not tight enough they will alloww the seat to move just a bit for and aft.
