after I cleaned my airfilter and rode my bike a little I hit a 45 footer and crashed fairly hard. when I got back and patched up my leg I tried to clean the bike and see the damage and it wasnt too bad.. handlebars and new ac grabber is shot but when I tried to take my seat off no luck.. it seems like the spring is broken or something.. I am not sure if it happened when i crashed but it worked before that so I am not sure.. I am worried I bent something under the seat and I cant see it yet any ideas

pull the ring and pull the seat and wiggle it around and see if it doesn't come off give the ring a few good tugs the only thing i could think of is that the cable is broken or the slide isn't opening do to being bent

Well if I stick a screwdriver in the cable hook and really really pull with all my weight it unclips. Maybe I will see what WD40 does to her.. anyone else got any good lube ideas that might work?

If you can't clear it out then I'm not sure lube is gonna help...sounds like ya bent something there mate

I have the same problem since I wrecked and bent my stem and stuff...just gotta live with it now.

I didnt bend my stem or anything.. she just did a front flip.. I cant even see how flipping would have anything to do with the seat.. I am going to have to get a really good look at it

if it landed hard enough it may have tweaked the subframe. i know i bent the one on my z400 like that. look for cracked paint on the subframe. if it is bent a little straighting may fix the seat issue. good luck
