I can't figure out how to raise the seat (75 mt250)
Also it's in pretty good shape but real dry. What to use for moisturizer?

Don't have a key! How does the latch work? Key use only or will it stay unlocked and open by pulling,pushing or sliding the mechanism some how? Thanks for the reply!

No worries, you will need a key really, and it should say on the lock face what the number is and original honda keys are available online for cheap. But in the meantime... get under the bike and look up, there are two 10mm nuts holding on the plunger that sits in the lock, undo those and you can lift the seat. Ive had to do it on a friends bike before, its simple but fiddly.

its probably the mech needs a lube as the tang isnt dropping into place. the ones that lock solid seem to be the ones we dont have keys for :? :lol:
