Anyone Experienced This Seat Lock Problem?

2014 VFR800DL, one week old today.

My salesman opened the seat in my presence using a key to see whether the owner's manual was present (it wasn't, so they're mailing me one). Later that day I attempted the same operation myself, but the key simply refuses to turn in the lock. I've tried both keys in both orientations turning both ways in the lock, but nuffink works. Unless someone can suggest something, the next step is a warranty call on a dealer.

Try pushing down on the seat or cowl whichever is fitted while turning the key. The lock may need slight adjustment, mine was the opposite, a bit loose.

Yes I agree, seat or cowl may not be in place properly, try pushing forward or down or wiggle it around while trying to turn the key.
