Where are the saddle bag locks?

[Ari Rankum]

Hey folks!

Someone must have watched the assembly of their entire bike by now. Please help my dealer out; they can't find the locks for the bags. Where does Yamaha hide them?

Thanks!

possibly under seat.

That's where mine were.

I've got locks - no bags. :angry:

Thanks for the suggestion of under the seat. I thought I had read that somewhere. That's what I said when I dropped by this evening. They said they looked. I said, under both seats? They said, the guy that was assembling it went home. GACK!

The guy who went home now has two cool looking saddlebag locks. I'd put them on display myself....but, that's just me.

The SB locks were under the seat on my '05.

That would be funny if the one thing keeping me from taking posession of the bike on the one day in the next 4 that will be dry wasn't the saddlebag locks. Well, I guess it's still kind of funny.

Woooohooo lamest reason yet for an '06 waiter to be kept waiting one more day! Uh huh, that's right. Life is good. Slap me five.

You 06 waiters are a piece of work. It's easy to look for something...if it's anything you are looking for. It's hard....if you are looking for something specific. Sounds like yamaha is playing with you folk. I am sure I will be kept up on it. I am on this site all the time. Oh....and fjrchik's saddlebags will fall off.....and, as she is a woman.....she really needs them. Don't get any sand in her hair.....lol

They're in the tool tray under the seat. Note: YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE!!! The third one is for the top box. Many dealers simply tossed the third lock without thinking about this little detail. It's a pain, because if you don't have the third keyed alike lock, then you'll have to deal with an extra key.

Course, if you go without the top box or choose Givi, then it doesn't really matter. You'll just have a spare saddle bag lock.

Thanks. I'll call again in the morning and see if the tech that ran away from home has come back. If he has, I'll let him know that he's going to have to keep looking under the seat until he finds them.

Mine were in the glove box?

I set up a 2006 out of the crate last week. The locks were under the rider's seat.

Uhhhh.........

Why do they need a freaking tech to un-do the seat and look for the locks? This is not rocket science. Heck, I bet even Brundoggie could do it.

I think I represent a quorum for "they".

Because they wouldn't let me touch the bike. I show up, it's ready to go, but for the locks. I say, I think they're under the seat. They say, the tech checked there. I say, where is he? They say, he left. We all stand there staring at each other for a few moments. I decide that vocalizing any more dark thoughts is probably not going to end well, so I go buy the first oil change supplies and leave.

On my '04 FJR, the dealer told me that the sidecase locks are shipped with the bike, usually attached under the seat, so that they are a keyed match to the ignition key.

On my 06 the three locks were in a platic bag in the storage area under the riders seat.
