Main switch under seat was created by mmoody66
Hi just getting the big girl together
Normally run a 900r
The switch under the seat I don't seem to have a key for
I have the ignition key that fits the normal way in the traditional position
but it does not work in the main switch under seat / side casing
Is this normal to have 2 X different keys ?
Any easy solution to my woes
Thanks

One key should fit all. Has seat unit lock/switch been changed at some time?

Not sure bike been stripped since late 80s in boxes 1 owner from new
Or though I was told bike was running when stripped
I received it in boxes so have no idea, maybe lock broken when I first put the key the lock turned clock ways but then won't turn at all

Agreed. Give it a good soak with penetrating oil. Knowing the way tumbler pins work in a lock, it could just be a stuck pin in the tumbler. Let it soak and once in a while pull the key in and out to move the pins around. It should clear itself if it's tumbled to the same key as the ignition.
