I just bought a 2018 Venture Transcontinental 2 days ago, with 12 miles on it from the dealer. They went through the whole mechanical/safety checklist before I bought it and everything was fine riding it home, a 3 hour trip. Today I go out to put something in the left saddlebag and it won't open, the latch button doesn't seem to do anything. I tried using the key, and locking and unlocking it several times with the key fob, no joy. it acts like it want's to open, I can pull the lid up a little and sideways away from the bike, and I shone a light in and could see the latch was still closed and the button does nothing.
Is there anything I can do with it, a trick? Or is this my first warranty item 2 days after I bought it and what would the dealer do to fix it? It seems like this sort of thing is pretty common, what sort of grease should I use on the other 2 latches to keep this from happening?
Thanks for any help in advance.
