May have a solution!!

I know this is an old thread but yesterday my ignition got stuck, same sort of thing, could initiate the steering lock and everything but as far as turning bike o on position it was a no go, tried WD-40, oil, compressed air EVERYTHING, I was at my wits end so I grabbed my smallest Allen key and put the tip of it in the barrel and turned the silver part on the top of the tumbler 180°c, don't ask me why I did this but, it worked, somehow while taking the key out I must have accidentally turned it and that happened, MAYBE that happened to you? If anyone experiences the same problem again, give that a try, it worked for me and saved me the time and cost of replacing the ignition, and I literally spent 3 hours trying to figure it out, on here, youtube and tried EVERY REMEDY I saw, this was the ONLY thing that worked. Hope it's the same for you. Good luck!
