    FIXED! Seat Latch not moving

    Could it be something wrong with your key lock mechanism. Disconnected the wire from the key lock (if possible) and pull the wire.

    It Let Me Down

    Then I agree :) Max battery voltage on a fully charged lead-acid battery is normally 12,78V @ 20' Celsius, with acid density 1,30

    I know, but with OEM wiring I guess you would never measure 14.5V. Maybe out of R/R, but not @battery. http://www.zefox.net/~bob/mc/vfr/vfrfix.html

    Not with the OEM wiring, then it is 14,0 - 14,2V with lights off! Anyway, 14,5V (boost charge) over a period might kill your battery ;)

    At my VFR, about 14V at idle with lights off, 13,8V @ 3500 rpm with lights on. Read here, http://www.zefox.net/~bob/mc/vfr/vfrfix.html

    Where to get a 5th gen key made?

    5th gen 98-99 is not chipped, but 00-01 is chipped (HISS). This is in Europe, could be different in US.
