Title: Ignition not turning
Post by: Zulu on December 18, 2011, 07:50:08 AM
I tried to start my bike today, when I put the key on ignition I can unlock the handle bar and that's about it. I cannot turn to on position or even all the way to left to park. Has anyone have this kind of issue.

My bike is 2010 696. I am guessing someone might have tried to tamper with it, I took a pic from my phone I will Post it.

Also, If the ignition is tampered with and I need to replace does anyone know, if i can just change the ignition or I have to change the whole tachometer.

I can't tell from the photos if the ignition was tampered with or not, tough I don't think so.  Is it possible it is frozen?  Try some lock de-icer. 

Still under warranty?  If the lock was not tampered with it should be covered.

The thing I don't understand is I can lock and unlock the handle bar, but cant turn any more than that. May be I should just tow-it to local dealership and see what they say .

Same thing happened to me (twice).  Makes me want to camp out by my bike with a rifle, and I'm an anti-gun guy.
