what did you do with your fazer today ?

Here is an addition to my earlier post about my Ignition Lock/Switch.


I found that pulling slightly backwards towards the fuel tank really eased the situation of the key snagging in the lock that was stopping it turning. IE: I could not switch the ignition on/off, or, take the steering lock off/off.


Well today mooching about in my man cave I found the very old spare ignition key that I was given when I purchased the bike 4 years ago, this key has never ever managed to unlock the steering lock ever since I had the FZS.
I tried it today using the method above, slight pressure towards the fuel tank and 'BINGO' it works every time although I can see that the key is really worn lots of brass colour showing through the original sliver colour, and, comparing it to my current key it looks really worn, but it works faultlessly, so I have an extra spare now for emergency emergencies.
:lol     

I have always if having two keys alternately used them so everything wears the same.
I wonder if pulling towards the tank and getting better results has something to do with having to reach over the bars to turn the ignition which means that you are always turning the key from a set point and to pull to the tank is not the normal strain direction

I've the same problem with my key but for me it's best to push the key slightly forwards towards the clocks that does the trick
