R34PER Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Some thieves tried to steal my bike the other night and in the process broke my steering lock (although my disc locks stopped them making off with it). Now I'm just after a guide or some info on how i can remove or replace it since the steering is snagging up now when i turn lock to lock which is obviously not ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 14, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2013 This is the kind of thing that I would take to a garage. Especially as it is a modern bike. If the lock comes on when you are riding, or something jams, you will be in a world of not very nice stuff. This kind of ignition lock will have security screws holding the lock on and these are a pain to remove. Also I would guess that the key has a passive transmitter in it which matches with the ignition to deactivate any immobiliser. Mess this up and it will cost a fortune. I messed one up on a Jeep Grand Cherokee about 15 years ago and it cost £400 to fix, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34PER Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Got it out in the end. The way they had forced it caused it to fragment so i was able to slide/tap the pieces out from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
