Ignition lock works intermittently

I have had it for about a month and when trying to lock the bike sometimes it will go and sometimes not. Has anyone else had this issue? Has anyone used graphite to lube the ignition cylinder?

 

Answer is YES !

 

Any good lock lube will do the trick.

 

Think I neet some graphite in my gas cap...had to push down on the cap qnd turn the key to open yesterday...it was hot as fuck and humid..maybe to much pressure inside

The gas cap cylinder probably needs lubrication, but pushing down on the gas cap before turning the key is also normal. Unfortunately, there's no good way to lubricate the locking tab.

 

Thanks NF....I do push down all the time...but this time it took three or four times to get her to pop......stuck grafite in and getting gas today so we will see...seems to be better.
