Yes it does, you just have to fiddle with it to get it to lock is all.

If it's an '06, do a search on steering lock in the forums. Someone recently posted about this. Seems like they said you had to push down on the lock mechanism and turn it over to (and past?) the lock position while holding the steering against the locked left maximun position...???...

Sorry, I don't have an 06, but I did read about it.

Don't see what type of bike you have. I know first hand with my 06 bike, the first time I tried to lock the steering head I had problems. You have to make sure the wheel is fully turned for the lock to engage. Now after a couple months of use, the lock just slides into the lock position

The '06's are giving some folks fits. If you do exactly what the instructions tell you to and work them very gently you shouldn't have any trouble. I think (hope) that a re-design will be coming.

Like someone else said, this has been discussed here and some good advice was offered. A search should help you find the thread(s).
