Question Key stuck in "On" Position!

Hey guys! I have a 94 CBR600f2. Today I was out riding and I came home to find, When I go to turn my ignition off, The key is STUCK in the On position. I have disconnected the battery so I don't kill it. I don't want to resort to taking it to the Honda shop if I can fix it myself! Anybody ever have this issue!?? Help will be greatly Appreciated!!

Thanks, Brandon

try spraying the key/switch with WD-40 and wiggling it to get it unstuck.
i like using the graphite spray in key holes, but that usualy works best when the key is out.

Lightly tap it (the ignition switch) at the same time you are putting a small amount of WD40 in there, reckon you got a sticking tumbler pin in there

Lube periodically due to the fact that the switches up and tends to get water and dust in it. Remove key when washing your bike so the flapper door is closed to minimize water getting in there.
