    Hey all,

    I have a 2006 with 1800 km. The ignition lock seems to stick at times. For example, when I have the steering locked, it won't unlock unless I move the handlebars and wiggle the key. Also, the key sometimes is difficult to insert in the ingition (no lube comments, please). Anyone else experience this and, if so, how did your resolve.

    Mike

    OK, no lube. How about some graphite?

    I always thought liquid lubes (i.e. WD40, Lithium Grease, etc.) were a no-no as far as ignitions and key locks are concerned since they have the ability to trap and hold dust particles.
