is the ignition suppose to do this?

[sly409]

I just wanted to find out if anyone else has this issue (or is this normal?)

Basically my key can pull out of the ignition in the ON position. I dunno if its suppose to be like this or if my ignition is so worn out that it just doesnt lock in anymore. It would seem like an issue just because I could imagine the vibration from riding causing the key to slowing lift out and fall out on the road.

Also what is the difference between LOCK and P? P = Park? Both seem to lock the front forks.

Thanks!

yes the switch is worn, most won't vibrate out (in the upright mount between the gauges, wouldn't trust a horizonal like the old honda's) unless you have a heavy key fob attached to it ... lock is for locking forks when parking the bike, Park position locks the forks but the tail light will be on (DOT safety stuff)

I have to agree with the above statement.for now if your stillgoing to ride tie a string or something to the key and tie it around the handlebars so if it does come out you wont lose it.
