Hey everyone,
I'm new to riding in general, as my Dad guided me to buy a 2003 AN400. It was basically a steal for the asking price, and I do not regret anything. However the seat-latch froze on the previous owner, and he ended up taking the rod off of the seat/lid. As a result I haven't trusted my storage compartment to hold my helmet and jacket whenever I leave the scooter in the parking lot during work. I have no idea if the mechanism works, or even if I want to use it. So I am wondering, what other methods do people tend to use to replace the latch?

Do a search for 'emergency seat latch release'
there is a description on how to add a hidden
pull cable to unlatch the seat.

I have a 2008 400....and during a hurricane - a large tree branch fell on my scooter bending the seat latch - so now it will not close (lock) and in 4 years have never had any theft problems... As a matter of fact - I like it better now....
