turn it upside down and apply a
"personal massager" to it.
that may shake out whatever piece of grit is in there.
roadking Guys in PHX get their locks jammed all the time from the desert dust.
BTW I also use a massager to unclog the kitchen drain the day after Thanksgiving...don't have to take the pipes apart

The good news is that it's covered under the manufacturers warranty.

That happened to my tour pack lock. I ground off the top notch (like a gun sight) of one of my spare keys. That key is now my hidout spare key.

The barrel lock on my ignition locked up the same as yours while out on a ride. I put in the key and banged on it lightly while putting pressure and eventually it unlocked. got home, took out ignition and took to a locksmith. He found rusted/ broken steel springs inside (7 if i recall). He replaced them with brass springs. Only been a year so I can't brag it its the solution but it was cheap enough.
