Got a 2012 SG and just discovered a problem with fork lock. Got. Off the bike at the store and turned the bars and locked the switch. Forks locked. I tried to turn the switch with it in lock position to test it and it turned even tho it was locked! So it realy does not lock. I had apes put on by local indy late last year and never tested that until now. Kind of wondering if he got switch back together right. Not sure what to check so any ideas would be helpful!

 

I would make the indy remove and reinstall the switch
Properly. Should only take a minute to do.

 

i may of have miss-under stood your post but my 09 sg will only lock if you lock it with the key. good luck ride safe

 

I read it the same way you did.

 

The switch must also be pushed down while locking with the key.

 

Sorry about the confusion. Yes I turn forks,push down on switch,turn key to lock,remove key and switch is in lock position. Forks lock but pull up on switch and it comes up and you can move it any where you want and the tumbler of the switch is still in lock position. In other words,if you go lock your forks and remove the key you can't turn the switch until you unlock it. On mine you can!
I never notice it until the other day because if you don't pull up on the whole switch it's locked.

 

Sounds like the lock is no good to me.

 

Just had my lock replace for the same thing,thought I screwed it up when I replaced the bars,replaced under warranty

 

Lock is broken. Replace it.

 

Same thing happened to my lock had to replace it under warranty.
