Dodgy ignition barrel?

(1/2) > >>

Athame57:
A problem I don't think I've had with the other thirteen bikes in my life is getting the ignition key to do it's job. However this past week on several occasions at an increasing rate I've got to twiddle about with the key to make the pilot light show up and starter button to work.  :o
I'm wondering if a whole new barrel may be a better option to taking the one I have in for pulling apart and fixing if possible. Anyone else had this sort of issue before?

Johnwebley:
Probably not the barrel, but the contacts at the end,

I know the 500 ignition switch can be dismantled,

Give it a go

Try spraying contact cleaner or wd40 down the key slot then click the key back and forth several times.
It might improve things without needing to go further. Nothing lost if it doesn't improve things.

Bryanj:
Sorry what bike and model

I took my 400 barrel apart although you have to drill out the two I indentations on the stainless barrel in order to get it off. Once you've done that you can access the plungers but be VERY, VERY careful as you remove them and lay them out in the order they come out otherwise it will be carnage!
