its probably the bit on the end of the barrel that turns the switch. I had that problem when i put a gsf barrel on mine and it rounded off in a matter of weeks :angry: its probably worn away a bit

Try the ignition switch first :)

you can take the barrel apart and use the new end with the key on it that fits into the ignition switch and screw that onto your old barrel :smiley:

Intersting, cheers for that bit of info, i'll see how much a barrel is from local ECP.
