Help. *(Edited for Derp).*

[Dave70]

Just finished work in Warrington , got on the bike, put key in ignition and it feels like the barrel has collapse internally.

Any suggestions?

Can you hot wire? Should be fairly simple on that bike to get you home.

[Paddy Blake]

What bike is it.?

[Dave70]

Aye Paddy, I think it's taxi time. Don't know squat about hot wiring.

R125 is the bike.

Hot wire it, its not difficult.

Cheers guys

Lost my phone signal for a time there too.

Had to leave the bike. It's chained up and alarmed, so fingers crossed. There was no physical evidence of someone tampering with it but, you never know. Just hope it's still there tomorrow.

Got taxi home

Should never have left the Island, eh?

I hope it's still there and not too badly BodyGuarded.

Be sure it isn't frozen internally mine was this morning had to pour boiling water on it.

[Snorty]

I had someone spray 'duck grease' into my lock once, that sorted it.

I hear graphite dust is also good?

Some Yamaha ignitions can get very fiddly to use. Sometimes all it takes is to not put the key quite fully in, or put it in and angle it slightly. Unless they've improved recently.

or pop some blu-tac over the ignition

[mudcow007]

im only in Liverpool if you need a hand?

know anyone with a van?

[Dave70]

[Dave70]

So, I may (probably) have derped.

Finally got a van and someone to drive it this evening. Finds bike still where I left it and in one piece. Put key in ignition to show the guy what's happened and how it won't budge. Key turns without any problem and the lights come on. Repeated this process numerous times and it worked every single time without issue.

I can only assume that it had frozen after all (although it didn't seem that cold tbh and there was only a little frost around).

The fact that the key was sliding into the ignition so easily, may be down to putting some ACF50 in there recently, as opposed to the barrel collapsing internally, which I'd convinced myself had happened.

I am now full of and derpiness on a rather large scale.

[MattJ]

Heh, at least you don't have to fix it now!
