for soem reason i stick the ket in and it wont unlock the wheel. Worked fine yesterday tried for a while and it just wont work. Anyway has anybody ever replaced one before?
u'rs has a wheel?! damn im jealous :). u have to push down on the key and then turn. also pull the bars towards the tank while turning
still cant get it , I dont get it it worked yesterday and it works it the fuel tank and the gas tank but I'll be damned if its going to budge for me
the key doesnt turn at all? does it at least push down?
Over time my bike has gotten to the point where I have to push the left handgrip forward just a bit before the key will turn. It's not a design feature -- some surface(s) must have slowly worn down somewhere. :dunno:
Maybe it was dropped while in the "lock" position. Someone knocked over my bike once and I had some problem unlocking it after that.
Cheers,

Hmmmm. Come to think of it, mine has been dropped a time or two on the left side, too. Perhaps my steering head stop is "notched" and allows the front end to turn just a tad too far to the left? :dunno:
To lock or unlock the steering on my '03 the bar position is quite critical, it has been from new. I have to push the left grip right "into" the tank.
i will try some more tonight i will try again tonight but i tried alot last night. The suzuki dealer told me to use a little lube in the lock I will try all of your suggestion man is it frustrating me
If you ride in the rain alot, squirt some WD40, Liquid Wrench, or some lube that diplaces water into the keyhole. I also spray some on the key and insert it into the ignition and turn it, repeatedly.
i'll try wd 40 tonight also
Ditto to Scratch's suggestion...works for me!
thanks everybody scratch's suggestion worked wd-40 is awesome. At first i had some reservations about spraying that in there but it worked great. MK you said it works for you how often do you have to do that
