The cable probably came off which means you are F...d. I think you will have to take the whole undertail off.

Push start the bike, its easy on an F4i, take it up to Robert.

weirdly, the cable looks like it did not come off.  if i turn the lock, it see it move if i take off the grab bar.  I have roadside assistance so i will take it to the dealer.  FML

Can't it be "picked" somehow?  Can you reach in there with a little screwdriver or something?

Then again - if Jim says you're F-ed, you really might be!   :runaway

Did you get this sorted out?
I need the sunshine in the morning, I'm heading for the open road.
