I got a 2008 night train and the key is not working in the steering wheel lock what kind of job is it to replace the lock cylinder ? I no the is an Alan jam nut but when removing that it only comes out a little bit ... Thanks guys

 

Not being a smarta$$ but I have to ask, did you have the front end turned all the way to the stop before trying to lock it?

 

Yes I did

 

Same issue now on mine any solutions to this, and also why would the lock suddenly stop working?

 

mine was doing something like that for a while, had to wiggle it to get it to lock and unlock but it went away after i greased the neck...i may have sprayed some lube into hey hole too but i forget now

 

Closer inspection i have found the little pin that drops down does not line up with the groove it is supposed to sit in in the forks, anyone have any ideas what maybe the cause, its almost like the pin has moved backwards away from the little groove in the forks.

I have played around alittle bit with it and can now lock the forks but not as they are supposed to be locked the pin misses the groove but locks beside the groove if you can follow what i mean.

 

There is a lead plug and then a set screw to be removed... and also the steering stem must be removed
