Try pushing down on the middle of the pillion seat area as you turn the key, this is where the latches are and it can release any upward pressure from the bungs. If this works apply a little oil to the catches to help with subsequent removal.

When you turn the key lift the rear of the seat until it stops (about an inch) then pull the seat to the rear of the bike and it will lift free. If you have a Suzuki top box fitted remove it first!
