Suzuki Burgman 650 Emergency Seat Release

[@giannidd3142]

Wish I had watched this video and done this before today! I'm sitting here wating for a friend to get me from the Bronx to drive me home 35 miles away and back here. It was such a nice day I decided to put the jacket in the Scooter instead of taking it into my site visit. I realized immediately as I got back that I left the key in the jacket! Damn. Cant wait to get this set up.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

It save me a couple times I hope the video helps! Ride safe👍🏻

[@andyostertag]

Wow..you guys really spend time on catastrophe prevention. Good for you

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Thanks my friend 👍🏻 I just hate to loose my keys or lock them under my seat🤣

[@andyostertag]

@@ManCaveMayhem Been looking at a 2016 Burg 650 Exec.. One owner, clean, no rash, 100% solid (so far), 34K miles, $6500.00.. what's your thoughts..? Those bells whistles would be nice.. OEM heated grips and seats when it cools off for starters..

[@ManCaveMayhem]

@@andyostertag if it was well taken care of and maintained. Sounds pricy though.

[@joef.3094]

after the key release finally failed me, leaving me standing beside the bike with my helmet, gloves and jacket locked in the trunk i had to do this. i tried a different rig but ended up using the fishing leader like you. i ran the cable along the right side of the seat and attached it under the bolt near the front of the seat. wish i could put up a pic but you get the idea. totally stealth and works perfectly. thank you for the tip !

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@kennolte5801]

I've seen the issue on the BUSA website but didn't see the solution. Excellent idea using the fishing leader. Another great video from the Man cave Mayhem. Thanks for sharing the details. I've never put my keys in the trunk but have thought of what to do if the cable wouldn't function. Now I know.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Thanks for your input Ken. I glad I could clarify this for everyone. Like I said this wasn't my creation but I felt it would be great to get it out there on video.

[@spectreboy55]

Nice video, the plastic on right side covered by the seat when closed, I clear Gorilla taped the pull ring there. You'll be able to get your finger under the seat enough to pull it out an open it and won't be any leader showing. I also put that clear tape down on plastic first so as not to scratch it. Your video's are great, you go slow and teach us newbies how to work on our scoots.

[@scotttaggart]

I tiewrap a spare key on all my bikes in a secret location and take a photo of it to remind myself where it's at.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

That’s very smart👍🏻 ride safe my friend.

[@johnjoedicke8566]

Have done on my 400, same situation I need to do on BRP Spyder Frunk.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

It’s definitely good insurance👍🏻

[@charlesplumlee7761]

I attached to lock post just like you but used a 9" leader running it through a 6" piece of stiff clear fuel tubing then the small key ring. The stiff tubing holds the key ring up under the lip of the seat out of sight unless you squat down and peek up under the seat edge. The tubing also serves as a conduit protecting the cable from getting pinched.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Charles Plumlee I love that idea that’s super smart I may have to get some clear tubing. thanks for your input and thanks for watching😎👍🏻

Gotta question for you, I have a n 09 burgman an 650 , I was pulling into a gas station and it completely lost all power dash lights everything if you have any idea what the problem is I'd appreciate your input, I checked the battery and it's fully charged... any help would be appreciated thank you...

[@ManCaveMayhem]

I’m not sure on that. I would be hard-pressed to figure that out. It’s very difficult to diagnose a motorcycle. If I’m not there to look at it, I would check on my fuses and connections. Make sure there’s been no water infiltration in any of the areas of the bike, that’s where I would start.

[@mikebittick6481]

@ManCaveMayhem found out the main 40 amp fuse blew , put another one in and it started but found out I have a short, smoke started coming from under my seat, trying to pull the trunk out now.....

[@ManCaveMayhem]

@@mikebittick6481 so glad you found it, my friend👍🏻

[@garthhowe297]

Good video. Assuming your key ring sticks to a magnet, you could glue a magnet under your top box, and then attach your ring magnetically.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Garth Howe Another great Idea! Thanks for the input.

@@ManCaveMayhem How to install wire cables on 650 burgman electric screen, do you know or advice please Alan

[@ross4681]

On my AN250 burgman I used a steel wire (bicycle spoke) to push, rather than pull. Protrudes about 6mm under the seat. Push to unlock.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

That’s a smart way to do it👍🏻

[@mr.m2556]

Love to see you add some LEDs for the trunk, foot wells and kick stand area. So keep them coming.

I just purchased a 2009 burgman 400. The only problem (it’s minor) the seat won’t stay up when opened. Have you guys any videos on seat gas strut replacement? Or, any ideas on how to solve this problem?

[@ManCaveMayhem]

No videos yet. The plastics have to be taken off. They show this in a shop manual.

[@brucewilliams9905]

Was wondering how it could be done. Now I know. Thanks!!!

[@ManCaveMayhem]

[@anthonycurtiss3288]

I note you appear to have a Russell All-Day seat on your 650 Burgman. If so, have you ever commented on or reviewed it in a previous video? Really enjoy your videos.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Anthony Curtiss I think Wes and I talk about it a bit in the “Happy Scooter Day” video and I think there’s a 650 comparison video we have. I bought the bike with it already on it and I love it. I guess it was pretty pricey though. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

[@barbaraweems3270]

I like the release method. I think my key maybe locked under my seat. Not for sure but need to know how to get under my seat without a key. Is there an easy way to releasee the seat latch without a key. Please help.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Barbara Weems not sure on that one. You would have to get under the plastics to get to the ignition or the rear latch.

[@humanmusic]

Need link to the wire leads used.

[@ManCaveMayhem]

They were fishing leads and we bought them at WalMart.

[@humanmusic]

@@ManCaveMayhem Ok I'll check that out. Was at Bass Pro today so I looked and they didn't really have the right stuff.

[@dennisherreid5393]

I did that on my '07 400 Burgman. Locksmith failed to get the ignition on, let alone pushing the ignition in to actuate the latch. I hide a spare key on my '16 650 Burgman. I love your strategy for an alternate method. Thanks!

Dennis Herreid Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@blackwolf3302]

Have you ever replaced the Burgman 650 seat piston if so how difficult was it Thanks

[@ManCaveMayhem]

No I have not. It’s a challenging task as you have to take a large amount of the plastics off to get to the piston. I am trying to set something up to where I can make a video to show you guys. Just need to get the time to do it.

Mi si è rotto il cavo dal meccanismo di chiusura e non so come aprirlo. Consigli?

[@ManCaveMayhem]

You’re going to need to access it from the panels you gotta get back to the latch or trace the cable back to where you can get a hold of part of the cable and pull it open.

[@MrTrico78]

@@ManCaveMayhem Grazie, ma ho scoperto che il cavo si è rotto in qualche curva stretta. Sono riuscito ad aprire la sella smontando i coperchi posteriori centrali. Mi serve un cavo nuovo e la molla piccola che c'è sotto il meccanismo 🙄
