Thanks for all of the replies. I'll try to some lube first. Having one key that works with 2 locks would be great. I'll see what happens with the lube first. Thanks again! Mike

Hey Everyone, The lock on my fuel tank access is nearly broken. By that I mean each time I use it it gets worse. I'm afraid when I get the bike back out in the spring I won't be able to open it at all. I have a hard time inserting the key and it feels like I could break the key if I turned it...
