Title: Gen 2 Ignition Lock
Post by: otley on 31 October 2018, 09:20:59 am

Hi. I parked my 2009 Gen 2 bike in town recently and wonder if someone tried to steal it. I now notice that if I insert just the point of the ignition key into the lock, I can rotate the dust cover part freely and independently of the lock barrel. If I rotate the dust cover so that the key is aligned with the slot in the lock barrel, I can push the key fully into the lock and it works as normal.

My question - are all the locks like this where the dust cover freely rotates or has mine been forced in some way?

Thanks

Hello. I don’t know about the Gen 2, but I have had many bikes where the dust cover rotates freely in the ignition switch. Somebody with. Gen 2 may verify it’s ok and is normal.
