Xingyue 150 Seat Latch Won't Open  By  mk9750 (Read 948 times)

I had the same problem. On mine the ignition switch works a cable to open the latch and a pot metal piece broke inside the switch. I could open it by removing either the gas tank filler tube cover or the rear fender side cover and pulling the cable lever at the latch. On mine the piece the latch bolts to and/or the latch can be unbolted from the rest of the frame after removing enough of the plastic bodywork. That may be your only option if you have a keylock at the latch.

I had that problem. I put the little red tube on my can of WD-40 and lubed inside the ignition switch (in the hole the key goes into). That did the trick. Once I got it open, I lubed the latch, too.

Yep.. done that before.
I locked my keys in the scooter before... how about that?

I got in there. It's not bank vault. Where there is a will there is a way.

I eventually got all the parts I could away, preyed up the seat as much as I could, then got a screw driver in there to hit the lever that the cable pulls.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up getting it open by using a long screwdriver and prying the pin out of the latch. I still need to assure it doesn't happen again, but at least I know how to overcome it if it does happen a second time.

Now te next issue. After having it in a shed over the weekend, the battery is, of course, dead. I get absolutely no power from the battery. Won't start, no headlight or tail lights, nothing.

I put it on a trickle charger, and the indicator on the charger said immediately that the battery is charged. So I unplugged the charger, and tried again. Same results. So I hooked up again, and when my wife came into the garage, I went to show here what I was seeing. She pulled on the right brake handle, and when she did, the indicator on the battery charger changed to charging. When she let go of the brake, it changed back to "charged".

Any ideas on that one?
