You might want to try a graphite based key lubricant, but you shouldn't have that problem. I think I would go back to the dealership.
You don't have the european modle with the H.I.S.S. system, do you? (it would be clearly marked by the key hole)

[hr]Honda Ignition Security System (H.I.S.S.)
Honda's highly capable H.I.S.S. anti-theft system features a fail-safe electronic interlock that prevents the engine from being started in any other way than using the motorcycle's two original keys. Totally disabling the engine at the very heart of its ignition system, the system cannot be bypassed by either hot-wiring the ignition or exchanging the ignition switch module, thus effectively deterring joyriders and greatly reducing the possibility of ride-away theft.[hr]
Unfortunately, this is not avalable in the states. I wish it was!

I have now learned that someone has broke a key off in there,its a bitch to remove the bolts holding the ign. switch to the triple clamp,they are tamper proof and have to be drilled out,good thing is,I have a drill press and the heads drilled off fairly easy.

What happened is I went out of town for a few days and when I was gone my son was going to fire that beauty up,however he used the wrong key in it and snapped it off........and did not tell me.....so I got home and put the correct key in, pressing the piece of key deep in the tumbler.Its all good now,thanks for the help.
