Columbia, SC | My key fits in the bag's locks very smoothly, but putting it in the ignition is like a little mini-fight each day. Nothing serious, just a whole lot of jiggling and pushing for about 15 seconds before it goes in. However this bike I just bought in December.
I know the lock cylinders WILL wear at some point and it'll be easier, but how long? It's, well, annoying.

New Mexico | Similar problem. A little graphite or WD-40 should fix you right up. Every time you change your oil.

| rub a little wax on the key before you insert it the next time. It gets dirty because it sticks upward and you push dirt in. A little wax or drop of 30 weight oil will have the key slippin right in. |

Jasper, MO | Sounds like a little gunk might have gotten into your ignition lock. It happens. Try a little Lock Ease or similar graphited lock fluid.

| sounds a bit odd, but, you could try flipping the key over. There are teeth on top and bottom of the key and sometimes it fits better one way. |
