Took my GA for a ride yesterday after getting it back from the transmission recall. loaded my gear in the saddlebags, went for an all day ride, and when I returned home, I couldn't open the right side saddle bag. The push button lock won't release the latch. I fussed around with it for a good half hour, and finally got it to release the latch. I went to the extent of removing the saddlebag from the bike, disassembling the plastic to expose the latch & lock mechanism. I couldn't figure out how to disassemble the lock/latch mechanism, and since it's under warranty, I didn't want to break anything. The best I can see, is that nothing is broken, the electric lock works fine, but pushing on the lock button doesn't slide the latch mechanism to release the latch. If I slide the latch release slightly by hand, and push on the lock button, it will work, but something is preventing it from working normally without assistance. I cleaned the entire mechanism and lubed with silicone, and I actually got it to work several times, but then is stopped working again. I'm trying to contact my dealer to discuss.
My question is, have other people had saddle bag latch problems on these Baggers?
Thanks
Kevin
