Easy really (when you know how) ......when you park up turn ignition off and turn handlebars lhs down then turn key agian anticlockwise and steering and everything should be now locked tight Wink

give it a try and see if it works Wink

they should be locked anyhow without the key?

to open my glovebox you need to push the key in (its locked otherwise), and as long as the seat has no obstructions it shuts and locks fine without the use of a key or anything (and you need the key to open it, so it is locked)

or am I misreading this?

you are misreading it - it is precisely the opposite - when the ignition is off I am still able to open the glove box and the seat box.

will try Big Ian's suggestions when get home tonight

to be honest I've never left my bike anywhere for any amount of time without the steering lock on, so I've never discovered if the seat opens without the key in and steering lock off...just dont do it round 'ere Wink

3 positions for key

1/ everything locked, (steering, glovebox, seat), immobilisor light should be flashing (key turned fully anti clockwise)
2/ seat will open glove box will open (key in centre position)
3/ ignition on, dash lit, scoot will start, seat and glove box will open (key fully clockwise)

in positions 2 & 3 pushing the key & lock mechanism "in" will open glove box, and pushing the seat release button enables seat to be opened.

inside glove box on left hand side of centre column is a manual seat lock release lever.

In addition to Mavers list, if you remove the key without locking the steering, you can still open the glove and saddle compartments. Only locking the steering locks the other compartments.
