Steering lock issues
Well chit, for some reason my steering lock will not engage. The bike is always garaged and out of the elements. Strange.

Re: Steering lock issues
I dont know about anyone else but I have always found I have to turn the steering away from the endstop slightly to get teh steering look to engage. Perhaps the OP means the steering lock used to work and now doesnt?

Re: Steering lock issues
I tried everything while the bike was on its center stand and side stand. The key refused to make the final locking position. So... I took it off the center stand and just straddled the bike, and now it decides to work like a champ. Every time. Weird as I don’t recall the lock not working while on either side stand or center stand.
