Title: WANTED - 2005 Thou Ignition Barrel
Post by: old son on 13 March 2024, 05:07:58 pm
My key is finding it harder and harder to switch on my ignition. I have tried lubrication with a drop of chain lube but its not made much difference. The key works fine in the fuel cap and seat lock. I think it is just worn out, the bike has done 119k miles.


Does anybody have a spare they are willing to sell? I accept keys wont match but that is not the end of the world, I'd sooner have a reliable bike.


Many thanks

As this question has come up a lot, look for either a used or new 3rd party complete lockset on Ebay -

b1k3rdude, you amaze me. I have been looking for ignition barrels on eBay for a week and could not find anything. I even looked at other eBay sites.


I checked the Chinese ones and they are not wired correctly, I need two plus, one has 2 wires and the other has 5 wires. I think that is for the lighting, I cant turn the lights off, they are on dip all the time.


I have messaged the lockset advert, I'm a bit worried the ignition barrel is stiff, was that the reason it was provided as a spare when the bike was bought? Its expensive if the lock is no better than mine.


Thank you for your input, much appreciated.

But I suggest just buying that used OEM set.
