Ignition switch
I posted this in the mechanical section but got no response, so I'll ask here. I removed the ignition switch to do my ape install on my '10 SG and while replacing the riser bushings the forks locked. I thought no problem I've seen the guy on YouTube use a screwdriver to turn the switch one click clockwise and they unlocked. So that's what I did and then after the forks unlocked I returned the switch to its original location. So I thought. Well I got things back together enough to fire it up to check my wiring and when I connected the battery lead the radio came on. It should be off so I'm pretty certain I screwed up. I've got the top and bottom tumblers in what looks like the correct position but still having same problem. Can anyone tell me where I screwed up and how to fix it?

Thanks Mike but I've searched YouTube for a detailed video on how to fix this problem with no luck. If anybody has a link or can offer a solution please post it. My bike is down until I can fix it. Been down going on 2 weeks due to my screw up lol

looks like you are in the on position both sets of tumblers have to be lined up. if you dont have a flat blade that goes through both sets of tumblers turn the bottom tumbler till it locks the forks then turn the middle tumbler untill its lined up with the bottom tumbler put lock back in and should be fine.Happened to me while changing fork oil
