central locking doesn't lock side cases

Post by Earle A »

I had the side cases off my 14 RT, and now they don't lock with the central locking for some reason. Glove compartments lock and unlock. Any suggestions or ideas?

The lock was turned to take them off and not turned back. Line up the slot with the dot.

thanks...I tried that but it didn't help.  It sounds like the locking mechanism is doing something....just not locking the bags for some reason.

Take them off the bike then put them back on ensuring all three anchoring points are in place. Then try again.  You can check if the mechanism is working by watching the locking arms moving with the cases removed.
