VFR 400 Seat locked, please help!

[FragReaper]

Hey guys,
Got a problem with a flat battery on my bike, but it cant get at the dam thing!
Basically, the rear seat wont come off! there is no seat lock on the bike (well no key and turny thing) I cant seem to get my finger in and push the release lever to get the bloody thing to pop.
Am I missing something?
any ideas??
cheers
Si

On the rvf, you pull back the rear of the seat to reveal 2 bolts, could be similar on the NC30

just unscrew each 3 bolts on both sides for the rear fairings then slip it off

cheers guys

Couple of related things though whilst looking at the bike... It has a micron exhaust from a ninja welded onto it, is this going to knacker the engine?
Also, the join from the bottom plate to the tube of the exhaust is not perfect and there is some exhaust leakage... any major problem here?
And probably a very silly question.. there is a tube coming out of the top of the fuel tank that is not connected to anything.. should it be?

Lastly how much is a pair of 120/60 tyres likely to set me back for it?
Cheers,
Si

I thought it was a breather pipe or are they the same thing? My dads tanks whines a bit from the pressure because he hasn't got one of those pipes on it.

Yeah it's the breather. Isn't attached to anything.
