Also my switch has gotten stuck before like 2 or 3 times but each time it was only for a minute or so of jiggling it so I thought maybe it was just a user error type of thing not realizing this is an issue so I guess you could say my bike has a history of this wish I knew I would of addressed this alreadyRoad the bike about a month ago. Changed tires, clutch, brakes, rotors, brake lines, clutch line, coolant, oil, air filter, oil filter and rebuilt calipers

Yes sir
OK, it's been on the charger a month... remove the charger, remove the battery, abrasively clean every connection point, including the connection on the frame, and all terminal connectors on cables, and the battery terminals... make them shiney, and use sandpaper... while the battery is out, squirt some WD40 in the key lock, insert the key and rap it a couple times with a rubber mallet, don't bash it, just rap it a couple times, then attempt to turn it back CCW while jiggling it... re-install the cables, and repeat this...
both pressing down on the key, and pulling up lightly as you attempt to turn it....
I'll be back...
2009 13k miles and yes stuck in FSS position. The only thing that happened when I first tried to turn key was the red blinking light came on so if you consider that waking up then yes bike woke up. Key comes right out but will not turn one iota
Did everything as instructed and the only difference being, which I think is a positive is I held my fob up to switch and now the bike truly wakes up when I push down. The dash lights and the stove knob insignia mocks me
but still zero movement. I guess my fob battery is dead......
Sounds to me like the key is bent. It happens, the key is made out of chocolate. This especially happens if you take the key out and use it for it's intended purposes such as the gas hole, cases, and seat removal. One of the reasons I NEVER EVER take it out of the ignition key hole.
I am out of ideas now. To me, it sounds like a mechanical failure related to the solenoid. It might be activating, but not traveling fully, or some linkage being broken/stuck. Just for giggles, did you try the spare non-knob metal key from inside the fob yet? I can't imagine that would make any difference. I am not a fan of WD40 or dousing, since it can cause problems later, and in this case, might not even be able to make it to the appropriate area. It might require ignition disassemblyYes sir tried the spare ignition key with same result
The only times I have ever had a problem turning the key (when the bike wakes) is moving from lock to off because the steering lock engage was putting too much pressure on the mechanism and it requires moving the steering a bit (pretty common in cars, too). But that should not be an issue in the off, on, or fss positions.
Yes bike wakes up, it wasn't at first then when it did I thought for millisecond yay fixed but unfortunately no such luck so I am miffed right about now...
But what does the display say?Same thing it has always displayed. A rendering of the stove knob with two arrows wrapping around it, one pointing clockwise the other ccw
