Remove key at "On"?
04/05/11 at 09:18:46
Am I supposed to be able to remove the key when the ignition is on? The manual for the later models says no. Mine's an '86.

Nope,.. it's worn out.
Not good, because your key can now vibrate out while you are riding....
"Till you replace it,.. I'd recommend carrying it in your pocket while you ride.
Try getting a new key cut, and see if that one works.If not you will need a new lockset.

I've been taking it out while riding. I need to get copies made anyway, I only have one key. Is it hard to find/replace the lockset? I'd like the key for the toolbox and helmet lock to match. I suppose a locksmith could rekey a new ignition switch to match my existing key.

Wait, it falls because the key is worn out? How is the key able to turn the bike on then. That means that even a crappy key can start your bike, like a screw driver.

It doesn't fall out that I've seen yet, although I'm sure with vibration it could. I discovered you can pull it out accidentally. I had the same thing on an 82 Datsun. It was really worn and you could take the key out with the engine running! But you still needed the key, a screwdriver or other keys wouldn't work. Worn tumblers I guess?

So not just the key is worn, ignition tumblers too. Because I would think both piece of metal get the same stress and wear out at same rate. Although a key is cheap enough to test with a new one before you go replacing the key lock.

My 79 Cutlass had that
feature
. And of course by
feature
I mean that it had a worn out ignition. It was great for warming up the engine/interior on cold days because I could take my keys out while running and lock the doors and go inside the house. On your bike though, that is not a good thing and not supposed to happen.
Do you carry much weight on your keychain? If you have a lot of keys or extra stuff that weight will wear down on your tumblers over time and lead to this situation.

Well, I had two key copies cut. They both stay in with the ignition 'on', but can be pulled out with the switch in 'Park'. Seems ok to me.

If you don't have a key for the fork lock you have to buy a new one and drill out the old one. Suzuki does not offer re-keying (they don't keep track of the key numbers) and do not offer key blanks. After replacing the lock I wanted a third key for my wallet and BMW was the only place to get one.

Maybe a locksmith could pick it? I doubt it's a very high security lock. I've seen other posts on that so I'll search.
