NSR Ignition barrel question

Hiya everyone,

Ever since I've had my NSR trying to get the key to turn in the barrel has always been stiff. It seems to be getting stiffer and stiffer and is really annoying. I'ts got a taurus barrel put in so maybe its something to do with that.

I actually had to get replacement keys because this problem caused them to fall apart. Any ideas on how to solve it? I was gonna spray some WD40 down there, but thought better of it lol.

Cheers
Cougs.

oh yeah also i've noticed that there is a rounded off screw on the swingarm cover that I wanted to get off to clean, any idea how to get such a screw out?

spray some wd40 down it. and spray some on the key and wiggle it about. worked a treat on my CB.

if you go to a locksmiths shop you can get special lock oil/powder stuff

however I use a oil type spray like wd40 (the name escapes me) but it doesnt dry/evaporate off as much as wd40, so leaves the barrel lubricated and protected against water

as for the rounded of screw... do you mean screw or nut!?
