Ignition key barrel maintenance?

[Val]

I did a bit of research on this and found that graphite lube is great stuff on dry locks, but not so much in wet conditions when it turns into a mush.

I use to use it. Now I never use anything that may cause me problems with electrical contacts. I have got some issues with my bike not starting two months ago. I flushed the ignition lock with a lot of electrical contacts cleaner. Problem solved.

Now I prefer my ignition lock not lubed, on the bright side the bike starts each time fine.
