I had to take my seat off yesterday to fit K&N filter & the key wouldn't turn & the seat wouldn't come off :shock: After a bit of pushing, pulling & twisting it finally came off
What I found is that the cable had popped out from it's clip holder near the lock.. it is only pushed into a plastic clip & it had enlarged with heat & use. cable tied it & it is now fine but it looks like a a weak area, should have been a metal clip IMHO. My Son who works at the local dealership said most bikes have a metal clip as plastic warps & it would be very difficult to get the seat off if it had continued to pop out :!:
Might be worth checking yours as well, just in case
