I was going to say the same thing. WD-40 should not be used in locks and intricate mechanical works. It tends to gum up things and attract dirt. It is great for unfreezing simple mechanical, like rusted hinges. It is also good for removing sticky stuff, followed by something like alcohol to get rid of the WD-40.
I have always been told that graphite is the only proper stuff to use in locks.
Sorry you are having a problem. I don't think they fixed the spring issue until the updated 2010 model year.
Keyless is *wonderful* on my car. I have one fob, I keep it in a fanny pack or briefcase and never even think about it. I love it. I don't have to mess with ANY keys, EVER. And the ignition is a push button switch. I can open doors, trunk, even the gas filler, AND start the car, without ever touching the fob.
But on the C-14, it really does nothing for me at all. Since it does not unlock the gas tank, and does not unlock my bags, I still have to carry a key, or mess with the silly stovekey. And there isn't an ignition button, it is still a key switch, so I have to fiddle with something to get the bike ready to start. And it doesn't lock or unlock the steering automatically, so you have to press, then wait, then press (but not too soon) and try to turn, etc. It has almost all the disadvantages of a mechanical system (difficult to use, mechanical failure, multiple keyholes, manual switching, etc), all of the disadvantages of an electronic system (complex, expensive, batteries, etc).
Keyless on a bike is a good concept, if done correctly. KISPASS is neither. Let the flaming begin!
Ok...
You really wear a fanny pack?
LOL! I was waiting for someone to comment. Unfortunately, many times, yes. I have to carry around medications (like pills and asthma rescue inhaler), big phone, wallet, knife, and junk and it is just too much effort to keep transferring all the stuff from one place to another, over and over. My need for laziness wins over my need for being a "manly man". At least it is black leather
I just don't get the mentality that admitting you need to carry more than will comfortably fit in pockets is unmasculine. I guess I am just not that insecure about my manliness Besides, the bonus is that the pack fits perfectly in my Sargent seat "pod", no keys required!
Instead of a nice smooth bulge in your pocket you will have an unsightly mess which will be a sure thing you can't handle the awe inspiring 'Mad powahs" of KIPASS.
PS If this is your fanny pack all will be well in the manly world http://www.kgproducts.com/BELTBAGS.html
I will say "no", since my permit is not concealed-carry, because I refuse to submit my fingerprints to the government (like a criminal), to be searched without probable cause every time any prints are run, probably anywhere in the country. (Yes, that is what is required in my city).
So you are one of those crazy, open carry guys?
I would much rather have nobody know what is on my hip.

Max, I can sort of understand your feelings about the permit process, but getting fingerprinted makes sense to me in the context of having a license to carry. It's the best way of making sure the person purchasing the gun is the same person holding the permit. We allow fingerprinting for all sorts of innocent purposes, such as for tracing children.
Then here, you would be fingerprinted like a criminal.
