Worth a try...

(I always have at least two back-up keys for my bike because I tend to lose them.) If you do, it should not be as worn. Give it a try and see if it comes out.

Or, you can ride the bike into the lock shop. (Alternately, you can have a locksmith come to the bike, but it will cost more.) It sounds like you just have a pin worn or broken. That is easy for a locksmith to fix.

Hay

Mine does the same thing !

Lost one key ring while I was long way from home is how I found out (no it wasn't funny) I had to refill the tank to get home.

I relocated the switch to make gravity my friend to fix the problem. the key looks like a arrow head , none of the teeth are lower at the back of the key to hold it in place. Now the key is at about a 45 degree angle on the top frame piece by the seat. Just a little hole and screw.

Let us know how it turns out for ya !
