Reply to PH14 message regarding Graphite dusting of locks.
I always was taught by my dad to use graphite in locks. A few months ago when I went to a local locksmith, he told me not to use graphite as if it gets wet or get sprayed with silicone it cannot escape the lock and can cause binding / damage to the lock. He told me to use a teflon or silicone spray in the locks.

I don't know if that is correct or not, but this is what I use in mine as well as lube the chain on my wifes bike

I like the new avatar COG!!
Removed it once after about the first 3 months of ownership, Ki-Rock was needed later that night, coincidence? Never removed it again and now over 22,000 miles and that was only Ki-Rock incident.......

Hey, that is close enough to proof for me. Sort of like 'kill the virgin so the corn will grow'- they killed a virgin every year and by huckies, the new crop of corn grew.
I think it is OK to remove the stove knob key if you throw salt over your shoulder afterward though.

Yes you must remove it and never leave it on the bike. Anyone with a pair of vice grips can force the key to start the bike and steal it.
True? That is the first I have heard of that - so if I forget my KIPASS fob, I can just must the stove knob key and start the bike? Cool!
You need a valid fob to start the bike. There is no other way. The key could be forced to turn but the bike will not start without a valid fob w/in range.

Which shoulder Brian? I think that it matters. Face away from the bike too, Connie is on a salt free diet.

If I leave the bike somewhere shady, I'll lock the steering.
