Zero hard bags removal fail
« on: June 02, 2020, 05:36:27 PM »

I installed Zero hardbags on my 2018 DSR last year and have never taken them off. Now I can't. The key is 3 position, obviously lock and unlock the top and I thought the middle (diagonal) position to remove the bags from the bike. No dice. Any ideas?

The Givi boxes?  They can get stuck.  Some graphite in the lock and percussive to the side should get the springs unstuck.

If you'd like, when it's light out I could take some pictures of the mechanism and maybe that'll give you some ides?

If you can open the bag, after it is open, press down on the plastic thingy inside the bag that would be just under the key assembly  if it were closed.  That is what releases the bag. That is the way I always release mine because the key design doesn't work all that well. As you press  down on that little plastic bar, you will hear a click as the bag releases.

After you try that, you will never try to use the key again to try to remove the bag. This way works so much better.
