Default Help me quick!

Lately I've been having issues with my low mileage 2004 F4i-

When I insert the key into the ignition and go to turn the key, I've been having difficulty getting it to turn in order to get the bike running. It's not a starting issue- the key almost feels as if it is stuck.

Any help? Thank you in advance-

Use #330,567 for WD40. Spray the Key and ignition assembly down and work it a few times. It should free up nicely.

make sure that the bars are not still turned against the steering lock position. Had similar issues with my 600f3 and found the bars just sat a bit to far to the left.

+1 on WD40 first. Amazing what it can do for a sticky padlock.

I'd probably try a little graphite first, too.
