Hi guys,
some time ago i replaced my rear light unit. All was well and good until i tried to open my trunk. my key doesnt seem to do anything, as i don't feel any resistance when i turn it. i removed my front seat and was able to push in and lift the two plastic "hook looking" things, attached to the hump, that hold the front of the hump in place, for a better view. Can anyone help me?
Additional info:
- gen 1 hayabusa
- hump mounted on rear
- able to see key mechanism in back (looks like the cable(cover) that connects the key mechanism to the latching system might be loose, as it looks like the end of the cablecover should be blocked against a small plate (displayed on photo) that is part of the key mechanism in order for the cable to move independantly trough the cablecover). I tried to use a long flat filetknife with a bent spoon taped to the end of it to pull the entire cable towards the front of the bike to create tention and tried to turn the key, but instead of activating the latch, it only pulled the knife towards the back. i did feel resistance as i was turning the key while pulling the cable, but it did'nt do anything.
- trunk accessible trough opening behind the front seat (unfortunately i cant reach the latch trough this side as it is located at the rear side (behind where the hump locks onto the bike)
I'm sorry for my bad technical english as this is not my native tongue.
Some detailed pics of the back with the hump removed would also be very helpful, as i can't see the latching system.
