Yip, that's a pretty common problem (and also with the panniers) - but. I took it to my local dealer, explained the problem, he had a look, squirted some lubricant in and it's as easy as any other lock now.

I'm not sure what the lubricant was, I had already tried a selection of different types and it made no difference at all. I'm back in the dealer this week so I'l try to remember what it is - it realy does make the difference.
