I am doing the Garage Door opener mod and I need to get the Steering lock off to pull the rest of the switch console out.

Looking below it I see a metal tab. That tab I have pushed in but I am getting no where. The lock doesn't budge.

I just need a clue on getting this puppy off.

 

Turn left and pull up while pushing tab. Have fun gettin' it back on!

 

I think you have to turn the key counterclockwise to get the tab to depress. My manual is home and I am at work and have done it a few times but not sure which way. Try turning the key to the left and then depress. I'm sure you'll have an answer shortly.

Theres no screws involved

Depress button underneath with screwdriver blade while turning KEY ccw. (the button release the stop for the key, the key releases the latch for the ****) The **** and shaft will unlock and can be pulled out. This can be done in any ingnition postition.

Replacing it is easy, you just have to remember to have the KEY turned to the left (CCW) when inserting it.

After the ****/shaft is off (gee, that sounds dirty) you can remove the nut and spacer, then remove the fairing cap.

If you have small hands like I have use one finger to push the pin up instead of a screwdriver. My ring finger fits perfectly, and it's much easier than using a screwdriver.

 

You get the service manual, and learn how to do it RIGHT.

I've seen a LOT of wrong explanations on the internet.

Screw this up, and your gonna have a bad day. Trust me.

 

What is the garage door opener mod?
