Trunk Tips
My trunk is a bear to slide back and forth. I completely disassembled cleaned and put it back together. Still doesn't slide back and forth easy. What gives, any tips? I'm afraid one of these times I'm going to push it off the center stand trying to push it back.

Re: Trunk Tips
Get some white lithium grease in a spray can (safe on plastics), then lubricate the slides, and the release lever's bearings, making sure to work it in by moving things around a bit. It should free it up fairly well. Cheers!

Re: Trunk Tips
Make sure you did not over tighten the trunk. I actually did that on purpose on mine since I just leave it in the rear position all the time anyways!

Re: Trunk Tips
Check the slide disk- White Disc- Not sure of the Tech name- for cracks, flat spots & wear.
I replaced mine few years ago. Cheap part if needed
Check to tightness securing the trunk. You might have it to tight so it doesn't slide properly
