Hi all,
Its taking me a good few minutes to manipulate the ignition key to start the bike..what is the go-to replacement barrel to get? I see the super cheap amazon specials for around 30 quid or an original set is like 300!
Has anyone bought the Chinese ones and are they worth it? (K3)
Cheers all :cheers:
I just stripped and rebuilt mine, it's easy enough if you're careful and don't drop the tumblers so they go back in the same order.
Guide I did at the time

There's another one for the switch underneath which is probably worth doing at the same time
