Something hs fallen from under your pillion seat down to where the lock body is and is stopping it from turning thru its full range of motion. I know this as the same happened to me and it turned out to be a roll of electrical tape i had under the seat.

Try the front seat off idea mate and some coat hanger wire to remove offending item.

Good luck and let us know what it was down there so we can all have a giggle at your expense

Who needs to call Suzuki when you can call on the Org!!!

Your looking at one happy camper, wallet retrieved and seat now working perfectley.

Turns out Spiderman was right, was my own damn fault.

I had cable tied my Optimate lead/plug to the lock body under the pillion seat, and with time and movement it had worked it's way around so it then jammed the cable from pulling back. It's well out of the way now and thoroughly greased up. I learn from my mistakes, this will not be happening to my dumb ass again. Well not anytime soon. Lol.

Many many thanks too all, except that smart git Spiderman(kidding).
