Fairing Pocket Locked

[allen51]

I recently had the air filter changed and now the right fairing pocket will not open with the key. I suspect the cable was not reattached or has broken. Is there a way to get to lid open without damage or too much disassembly?

Remove the right side trim strip. Then the black piece where the lock is ( one screw). They may not have secured the cable properly on that piece.
You can also reach up to the locking mechanism with a small hook and unlock it that way.

Look over the cable and plastic pieces that lock and unlock the door. My cable and lock mechanism was not working like it should and I replaced it. Got my from from here, https://www.babbittsonline.com. The parts are in the air duct section.the hardest part of replacing it was the little spring that opens the latch. It is LITTLE for big hands.

Chances are the cable slipped out of the retainer on the key panel.
