Went out to go for a ride today. Got on the bike, tried to put the key in the switch and no go. OK, I thought
maybe the switch need a little lube. NOT!!! Key would not go in the switch. I took a little hook and opened the moisture door to look in and I could see a couple of the tumblers had fallen out. Anyone else have this problem? No key= no start=no rife today.
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you are, which while you may not like it, is a good thing. Should be a quick fix. Sorry you're having an issue.

where there any signs of a theft attempt around the lock causing damage?
