Stumbled upon this video when I was dealing with my 2005 Suzuki BLVD that has a non-rotating ignition switch right out of the blue. A dealer wanted nearly 300.00 plus 2 hrs of labour! Followed your steps and it all came out great. I was able to pull mine out with needle nose pliers- so no grinding. Put the ignition back together and voila! Thanks so much for the tip! One more tip - once you do this to your ignition, your key will very likely fall out when you are driving - so once the bike starts, take out the key and put it in your pocket! Then when you stop take it out and turn off the ignition!
@@kenbowes4130 lol thanks for the advice. That's about as far as I've gotten with that bike. It's been sitting since I've posted the video. I hope to finish it one day. I'm just so busy with other crap.
Im going to try it on my 1983 and my friend son lost the key. I hope it work on my Harley shovelhead. Really dont want to pay 200. Plus labor. I also have to get my tool game up 😢
@@crazyDIYguy when I got this bike, the guy had lost the key for over a year so he tried hotwiring it. He twisted all those wires together. so trying to start it what exactly would that fry?
Lmfao ya mean you had the wrong size you brought with you when you went to steal the bike. You have the proper size there in your garage where it is not where you cut the bolts lmfao nice job anyway

But when I do finish it, I will keep the key in the pocket thing in mind. 👍😆

Nice
Bro, I I’m going to try this and see if it works for me. I imagine it would. I have a 2006 Suzuki GS500F.
It should as long as the key doesn't have a chip or it's not a battery type key

@@DivergentSoul check fuses, might have fried the ECU, you can probably pick another one up on eBay cheap.
