What Akitakoi said.... just need to tool if you mess up and move the tumblers while it's out and can't get it lined back up... Even then you can get it back in-line if ya got the time...

Yea I screwed mine up a little, used a long small screwdriver to line them back up. Whatever you do don't lock the forks while doing this.

Thanks to coolnite for the directions!
7. Remove the fairing cap and the ignition switch.

a. Turn the forks all the way to the left.
b. Look under the fairing cap (that's the plastic piece under the ignition switch that has places for 4 switches) and unplug the wiring harness.
c. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to unlock. Turn the ignition to fork lock.
d. Depress the release button on the bottom left of the ignition, push the key down and turn the key 60 degrees counter-clockwise.
e. Lift and remove the ignition ****. A spring will fall out of the ****.
f. Remove the nut (7/8") and spacer. You may have to turn the forks to the right to get at it.
g. Remove 2 screws (torx) from the fairing cap. 1 on each side.
h. Remove the fairing cap.

Yeah, been there, done that. Pulled the **** and spacers, then without thinking re-fitted the **** to turn igntion switch to release forks, but forgot the spacers. Alignment was instantly screwed up after that little attention lapse, but a medium flat-blade screwdriver can be used to move the tumblers back in place. Just look at the shaft for guidance on where they should be positioned. It took maybe one minute to correct.
