I have an 07 650r and am in a bit of a situation :confuse:
Is it possible to remove the seat from the bike without the key?
I changed the oil for the first time on the bike last weekend without breaking anything or spilling oil everywhere in my garage. Unfortunately I noticed the next day.. that my key was nowhere to be found. Of course I was stupid enough to not make a spare, and as it was purchased used from a dealer, have no keycode. I cannot see how to remove the ignition without drilling it out (i've heard the keycode can be found on it), and I am about to have a locksmith come out and rekey it for ~$130.
I thought about it today and think there is a 1% chance the key may have ended up in the tool bag before i put it back under the seat and closed it up. Unfortunately i do not know how to get the seat off without a key. I can pry the seat up a decent ways and was thinking if there is a way to pop the seat lock without damaging it/the bike, it would be worth to see if the key is there. I'd hate to spend 130 and then find the key underneath.
Is this possible to do? I tried searching and didnt find an answer, but if my search skills are lacking i would certainly appreciate a link.
Thanks for any help you can provide and ride safe!
