Hello all - I went to fill up and at the gas station and my CT’s seat lock cylinder would turn (I could/still hear a minor mechanical sound under the seat) but the seat would not let go as it normally would.

Of note I had previously unlocked the seat and lifted it a few days prior to this

The googAi told me to “apply weight to the seat” and “jiggle seat”.

This made sense so I gently tried both but seat is solidly connected.

Has this happened to anyone?

At this point I have a couple bars left on my fuel gauge so I may just ride it a bit more to see if anything simply loosens.

I understand I may have to take the plastic fairings off but I am hoping to avoid it if anyone has a trick.

Pic cuz I love this little bike!!!

Thanks for any advice!
