Hi,

You could try using some WD 40 oil, spray it into the ignition lock (it won't harm it) and push the key up and down a few times getting the oil in also spray the steering lock button which is on the steering head. As you are switching the ignition on gently turn the key both ways trying to free it at the same time gently move the handlebars from side to side

Also have you tried moving the handlebars as you turn the key? sometimes the bars lean against the lock!

Hey.
Ended up all the internal parts of the ignition were frozen solid, they had to take it out and defrost the whole thing.. :o)
but all is sorted now and i'm back on the slippery roads.
Many thanks to all of you, for your help...
