[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 245225, member: 1875"] If it's on the center stand, then you are gold. If it's on the side stand, my suggestion is get help, muscular help, to hold the bike tilted slightly on the side stand, so that you can freely jiggle the front forks to loosen the lock. Almost all the time, a stuck fork lock comes from a preload on the lock mech. Relieve the pressure and it WILL unlock. Second suggestion, try turning the key over. It may actually work. [/QUOTE]
