Errrr, sorry to be a doubter fellas but i've always used Graphite Powder/Lube in my bike locks/ignition as this contains no oils (WD40) to attract and hold any dirt.
Always worked for me for long periods...........
They wouldn't listen to me :grumble :lol :lol

OK, OK, everybody listen to Frosties!! And maybe give Noggy a tip o'the hat. My wee can arrived this morning and I now have a super smooth lock :eek I've even managed to get it to the steering lock position without too much swearing, some sort of fandango like moves are still required with the key to achieve this but it's nice to know it'll go. Couldn't get it to PE though, I'm not fussed in the slightest about that. I was so happy I even cleaned the bugger and tightened the chain :lol
Thanks to all contributors, I think this needs to go down as the official Foc-U lock fixing solution!
Cheers,
Rob

All hail the almighty Frosties, foc-u master of locks & restorer of hope to all keys :lol
Im dying to use some more of mine...i might stalk supermarket car parks.....well more than usual
Armed with my secret weapon, waiting on a damsel in distress to have trouble with a door lock, leaping out from the trolley store, fixing the lock...& bundling her in the boot....err i mean help get the shopping in the boot :b .Come to think if it i havent actually put any in the fazer lock so off to the shed it is...prevention is better than cure. 8)
