View Full Version : Attempted theft - ignition barrel damaged

Some little scroat tried stealing my bike at the weekend by ramming a screwdriver down the ignition. The key doesn't fit now.

Anyone know how much a new ignition barrel costs? Or have a spare one?

I called my local garage to query this. The fella said he would only be able to order a genuine replacement and he'd need the number off the frame of my bike. He quoted £146.

Does this sound about right?

Cheers

Looks expensive although should be ok.

I'm sure Berlin wouldn't be asking as much?

a new key is 4 quid mate and unless your an idiot you'd change all the locks hence it being a COMPLETE lockset ffs

Sorry, yep, what I meant was Berlin's might not be as much as the Ebay one.

Berlins has 2 keys as well :)

hehehe- hence why i pointed that seller out to him mate.the ignition barrel only is on the bay for 25 quid plus 9 delivery so its worth the 40 quid for everything(but i'd best offer 35)

Typo. I was refering to the key which doesn't loOk genuine.
Sure would change all locks when buying a COMPLETE lock set.

Before I buy a new set I would bolt out the lock-cylinder and try to repair it.

Lock inner parts can't be more than bent and if the cylinder is damaged I can offer the pictured one for free.

As above id suggest trying to repair it first. The same thing happened to my sv. You need to undo 2 security torx on bottom side of yoke then barrel will come free, then undo 2 philips screws on top and remove cap and you can pull out the actual barrel insert thingy. It is actually more simple than it sounds or looks. I ended up rubbing down the brass inserts substantially hence now you could prob start my bike with a spoon. Sorry if youve already tried this just trying to help.

Thanks.

Do you, or anyone else know if I will need a drill with a torx bit attached to undo the security screws? Or would a screwdriver with a torx bit be sufficient?

You definately won't need a drill unless you want to drill something ;)

Drill won't do it and screwdriver with torx might do it if you're lucky.

But I needed a rachet & the torx bit in an adaptor on the ratchet to get enough leverage to start undoing it.

Suzuki use some really strong oranage threadlock when they assemble the yoke.

No need for drill. As above though i used a small ratchet and an adapter for the screwdriver security torx pieces. All of which came in my halfords professional set. Set me back 90 quid a year or so back and was worth every penny.
