Hi guys, I was going to ride to the beach last Sunday with 8 of my buddies, then my gas tank wouldn't open properly, I fiddled with the key and it broke in there outside of Walmart. Long story short I towed it home and took the lock and key to a smith and they put the key together and made me 2 spares.

K all great so far, but when I broke the key off at Walmart I was trying to use other Honda keys to see if they could start my bike but they wouldn't. So my new key I cant get it to work properly on my ignition. I cant get it out of Lock mode, Ive had this problem before but now I cant get it out of lock mode to save my life.
I have ran out of ideas so I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

Thanks so much for your time and reading my post.

screw driver . . . . . . . best thing take out the cylinder and run it to ur local honda shop and have them code cut you some new tumblers or have new ones put in or something if that doesnt work try a locksmith place or magic keys or something, if that doesnt work take it to a car dealership they could proooooobobly cut you some new tumblers not quite sure if they could though . . . .lemme know

 

Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot to mention one of the two bolts holding in the ignition is somewhat stripped. FML

 

I had that problem with my F2 - the key didn't always want to rotate clockwise. I shot some graphite in the lock cylinder a time or 2 and it's been perfect ever since.

 

graphite??

 

Yes - powdered graphite - it's used for lubricating lock cylinders, door hinges, pinewood derby car axles, plenty of other things.

You should be able to find a little tube of it anywhere you can have keys made.

 

Thanks, Ill try that now.

 

Still cant get it to work, even with the graphite.

 

After some blisters on my thumb I got it to work. Got a friend to sit on my bike and shake the handle bars while I shook the key in the ignition and it worked after a few tries.
Thanks 87turbobuick and adrenalnjunky
