Been fiddling with the fork lock mechanism on the steering head - left side. Am able to insert ignition key without any problem. Can turn tumbler with key inserted (CCW) about 1/4 turn but fork doesn't lock. Resistance to further key rotation is felt at that point. Must turn the key back to starting position to remove but the locking mechanism doesn't engage. I have sprayed cleaner then lubrication in the key slot followed by a blast of compressed air to force liquids as far in as possible. Doesn't seem to have loosened anything. Any ideas/experiences? In the mean time I'll continue to periodically lubricate and operate the tumbler with the idea eventually something will loosen and start working..............Thanks in advance for any information you pass along.....Wesley
