Grahamm:
It's not clear exactly what the problem is.

Do you mean that you can't switch the bike on at all or is it when you're trying to actually start the engine?

fz6cruzer:
sorry yeah can not turn it on or get it off the steering lock

Grahamm:
That sounds like your key is knackered.

Firstly of all I'd suggest putting a drop or two of oil into the key barrel and then gently turning it to see if there might be some rust etc in the mechanism.

If that doesn't work, dig out your spare black key (or the red one) and compare that with the one you're using now and see if it's bent or the teeth are worn at all.

My thous is a bit like it, I find I have to 'lean back' a b it on the key as I'm turning it, if you ee what I mean. Excuse the smell of wee
