So I come home last night and some piece of **** scum bag tried to steal my 98' F3 happy Halloween to me. So this $ucking son of a bitch has chewed my ignition up with a screwdriver and a lot of it is laying on the ground so he left me with just a hole now. The steering was locked thank god but now I need it unlocked so I can get it on a trailer and to my dad's house. Any ideas you guys might have would be a god send Thanks

 

try using a screwdriver to turn it. thats what they were going to do. otherwise, just pick it up and put it on the trailer.

 

it's just a pin, you could probably man-grip it and it'll come unlocked.


or.... take the ignition off now and it'll all come off (so it'll be unlocked too). buy a new lockset off ebay. good to go.

 

If you get the torx head for the mount you can pull the ignition switch, that should
free the forks. You'll have to do that to replace it anyway.

If that's a bad option where it is now, do as Demon suggests. Just get 3 buddy's and
2 pieces of pipe. Slip one through the rear-end, one under the tripple. 4 guys, no
problem walking it onto your trailor. Just be glad your idiot thief didn't have 3 buddies.

even easier... get 1 buddy, pick up the front wheel and roll it on to the trailer. maybe even put the front tire on a furniture dolly and push it wherever you want.

 

thanks a million guys got it all worked out now my bike is safe and sound

 

Sorry to hear about your bike getting damaged. Glad they didn't get away w/ it tho. Should be an easy fix w/ an ignition replacement.
