| I have ask if anyone has had this problem.
Went to lock the handle bars today and would not lock. No matter what i did, it would not work. Could it need some WD40? will the rain cause this?
Anyone have any ideas? |

New Bohemia, VA | were you pressing down and turning? I know, an obvisious question, but sometime it gets a little sticky. I used that LiquidWrench Dry Lubricant and it frees it right up. By the way, mine stays in the weather, even when it is sitting. |

| I have been caught in rain storms while ridding here in Arizona. However, my Vision is parked in the garage all of the time. At work i have covered parking. Thanks for the information Varyder. I will give it a try. |

LaPorte,Tx. | If you ever have the center counsol off, you can see the latching device at the ignition tower. Then you can see how the latching works and maybe see what the issue maybe. |

| Thanks for all of the ideas and comments. I crank the bars as far left as possible ByteN2it, still nothing happens. I guess i will have to remove the counsel and try a repair the problem. I could take it to the shop and not have my Vision for a couple of days. Not!! its good ridding weather in Arizona. Have to ride as much as possble.

New Bohemia, VA | huntdiv, I often give my a smack down once or twice to get it to turn. But when you turn it to lock, it has to drop down, the whole key cylinder, to go for the lock. It is possible some can get behind the lock and keep it from engaging, so a remove of the console may reveal your problem. |
