Keys and Locks
Hi All!!
im just wondering and im probably right, but......... just went for a ride on my sv and the key locks are abit of a to get into the on position, so i gave it a wiggle (with the bike on) and the key came out!!! my expression was is this normal? i put a screw driver in there to test if it can be turned on without the key and it seems to be fine. im thinking this isnt right. looks like a new lock set cheers peeps. |

Re: Keys and Locks
I used to be able to do that on my last SV and it was just down to a worn lock barrel

Re: Keys and Locks
Mines a real pain too! I sometimes have to take it out and put it back it in before it'll turn. I sprayed some wd40 in and it seems to have made a massive difference!
