I I set my keys in the little compartment behind the air box on my GS550L while I was working on it. At one point I put the seat on, and locked it. I just went to take the seat off, and realized my mistake. Is there a way to take the seat off without damaging anything?

Pick the lock. There's lots of info online about how to pick different kinds of locks
You can make a cheap hook pic with a street sweeper blade and a grinder. -
Thin flat bladed screw driver. Take a flashlight and look up from the bottom of the latch. Youll see a gap and the end of the plunger. slid the plunger back with then screw driver. Pop goes the seat.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Fresh out of street sweeper blades.
I actually used to have a bunch of those. They came in very handy for cleaning gunk out of tight spaces. Quite a few got commandeered by my friends for cleaning out their paraphernalia. I'm going to probably bring it to a locksmith tomorrow. And have him make a spare key while he is at it.Comment

THere is a 3 digit code on the seat or gas cap lock. Some locksmiths can make a key from that code, or you can search ebay "Suzuki key <code>"Originally posted by Trilug View Postsigpic

Don't tell anyone but they are pretty easy to break into. I installed a new ignition switch since mine occasionally failed to connect when I turned the key on. My first ride after, I forgot to bring the original key for the tank and seat. I needed to refuel and I was able to open the seat, remove the tank (I had tools), and pop the fuel tank cover. Just break in... gently!Jordan
