A quick note here for GZ riders. I posted this a coupla years ago, but newbies probably won't have seen it .............The two bolts I never even thought to check were the ones holding the saddle lock to the side panel. Everything seemed ok until the day I went to unlock the saddle, and found the lock swinging on the cable, somewhere in the depths of the side panel. Eventually managed to hook it, then spent a long time trying to get the key in. Found that the two bolts had vibrated loose over time, and were gone. Give 'em a check folks, and save yourself some pain.
