    You know, I'm not sure if this is strickly a DIY forum or what but I thought I'd post a question.

    When i park my bike on the street I like to lock the wheel. With this bike i bought I don't believe the last owner ever did because its stiff. It will eventually go into lock but its slow and takes a fair amount of force. I'd really be bummed if i broke the key off in the ignition.

    Any idea how to loosen this up?

    thanks

    wd40 down the tumblers, a few shots should loosen her up.
