Starting issue

[ghostbiker]

Ok Found the source of the problem. It is indeed the ignition switch. although i used contact cleaner on it a couple of days ago (and again today to be safe) it had no effect on it. but it you wiggle the key slightly or even push it slightly to 1 side the engine cuts out and it wont start (turns over but no start)
i also now found out that the key will in fact just pull free of the lock lol

Now a lock set on ebay is about £80-90 but my local guy happens to have a R1 ignition lock somewhere (he is going to try to find it later) anyone know if it fits? we tried to find a pattern one in his book and it has the R1 and both Fazer 600's but no listing for the 1000 /sigh
