I think at some point in my bikes history the ignition switch and seat lock were replaced as a pair (they're keyed the same at least).
My steering lock on the other hand is not only a different code, but inoperable as well. By inoperable I mean I can't even get a key into it. I was hoping I could get the mech/pins freed up enough to just order a new coded key for it but it just seems to be a lost cause.
I'd like to replace it, hopefully with one coded the same as the others but, if that's not possible, I'm fine with carrying a second key.
Question is: is there a good process on getting the old cylinder out? I'm assuming I'm going to have to drill the pins, then?
I've looked at the fische but it's not terribly clear on how it's actually in there. I'm guessing, if you've got the key, you unlock it, then it's removable after removing the single screw shown in the fiche(?)
