Givi E41 case design flaw
We have discovered on two separate occasions (and two separate bikes) that the combination lock code can be accidentally reset.
If the lock is not fully seated/closed before spinning the combination wheels, the combination will change to the new code you spin it to. This is regardless of where the lock change lever is positioned that is on the rear of the door.
Needless to say this creates major headaches on a long trip as you can then only use the larger clam shell door to gain access to the contents. It can take hours and lots of  to rectify this problem as you have to try each possible combination 'til you jag the right one.
I always ensure now that the lock flap is fully seated/closed before spinning off the combination.
Anyone else had this problem?
