Default Key sticking in ignition switch
Has anyone had trouble with the key getting stuck in the ignition switch?
The key turns to all positions just fine but I have to mess around with it some times to get it out jiggling and turning back and forth.

My key got stuck once after riding highway speed in a down pour for a hour. I shot the key hole with some WD-40 and haven't had a problem since. I think maybe some road grime got in there.

Yeah, I suggest WD-40 also. I've had to do it a few times.

It's like the Amsoil banner says at the top of the screen in the add " It needs Lubrication"
