I was doing some errands with the 2014 CB1100 today. It’s low miles, just over 5k. After my 1st stop I put the key in, no turn. It would go all the way in, would not turn the ignition on.
I thought I may have to get a ride, only 6 miles from home. After about 5 minutes I got it to turn on. It was like it was against a hard mechanical stop.
My next stop, same thing, after minutes of trying, finally got it.
I have lightly sprayed the keyhole over the years, nothing excessive, somewhat upper end stuff from bike shop.
I got home, rotated my spare key in for now, of course old key worked fine at home too. The old key had a very slight amount of grime on it, can’t see how that would be enough to stop it from turning.
I’ll use the other key for now. Anybody see this problem anywhere? Maybe it’s just me? Thanks.
