I just put 150 miles on my new bike and noticed the lock assembly came loose and fell off somewhere. I checked the other side and it was tight. Eveyone might want to check their screws on the bags.
Actually, you can rekey one of those locks pretty easily. Take a look at this gallery if you want to see how.The other bummer is you now lost a key matched lock which is not replaceable

Gotcha...now it makes sense...Thanks...That is a security torx screw. They make a special torx security bit that has a hole in the middle of it.
You would probably ruin that screw if you tried to drill out the tab in the center of it. Call around to some tool stores and ask them if they carry Torx Security bits.
I've seen a neat little set of Torx security bits at Autozone.Call around to some tool stores and ask them if they carry Torx Security bits.
It's not a design flaw, as Yamaha's assembly instructions specifically state to use locktite. It's a problem of ignorant/lazy dealers slapping bikes together as quick as they can without following the instructions.The very same thing happened to me. After the thread locker was applied, problem solved. Seems like a design flaw to me. But what do I know.
Yes, I know they are shipped separately. That does not answer the question though. First, why do they ship them separately (and are you sure? I thought they were only shipped separately at the beginning of the year when the bags are running behind - I could be wrong though). Second, does this mean the locks are shipped with the bike to assure the keys match? That could explain it.The bags are shipped seperatly.

I think I still have the instructions that came with my bags in my workbench. If that is what you need, PM me and I'll fax it to you. You do need the security torx set. I got mine at Sears.pricey. And my memory says it was a #10 torx.....Slapnpop,
Been lookin' all over for the "How-To" on the bag locks, but after spending about
an hour on the site searching, I gave up...I want to ride, but I'll stay around
locally.
Any links on the "How-To" would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim
