Wouldn't "gas filler lock" be a bit more descriptive?

My bike is still "new", and yet I am developing an issue with the keyhole turning white with some type of corrosion. It is now very difficult to get the key in or out, and to turn the sucker. Bike is always stored in the Cycle Shell, so I don't know what is causing it (there is no corrosion anywhere else on the bike).
So much for self lubricating gas holes...
I used something called drislide at one time or another. It's another liquid based graphite lubricant.
Comes with an easy to use applicator.
Lol as crazy as this sounds with the thread title, I used petroleum jelly on mine and it slides in nice and smooth each time.
Oh, my. Drislide for your gashole?
Wouldn't "gas filler lock" be a bit more descriptive?Hmm... 'gas' - that would be gasoline, petrol, engine fuel, I get that. 'filler' - that which fills - That would be the station pump, the pump hose, the pump handle, maybe even the pump operator. Nope, nothing attached to my C14 fills the tank, I have to do that myself. However, whenever I do so, I have to unlock and uncover a large round 'hole' to put the nozzle in to. So I guess "gas filler" is NOT more descriptive, IMHO.
May not have been the right thing to do, but I gave the locking mechanism (the lugs, not the key hole) a couple of quick shots of Remington gun oil and worked the key a few times. Everything loosened up quite nicely and has worked perfectly ever since.
