So I took it to the locksmiths and they took it into workshop, basically oiled it, kept working the key and brought it back functioning! He thought maybe the key not very well cut.

I'm wondering if I can replace just the lock barrel with a better quality item so it doesn't happen again in future. Having now seen how they attach the lock to the frame it's a shocking design.

The actual latch bolt moves freely but key doesn't turn it. Key barely does quarter turn, stops dead, doesn't feel like just grit in there.

As the title suggests, lock is seized! I eventually got battery off with a combination of twisting key, hitting the lock/battery and swearing! I've removed lock from bike but can't get it to operate. I lube it every ride and bike is less than six months old. The latch pushes in and out freely, it feels like the lock mechanism itself is jammed. I've been told this is a common problem, so does anyone any have any helpful suggestions please? TIA

I admit I just drifted off.. Excellent work, thanks!

Keen indeed! It may as well have still been in German for all I understood!

Thanks for that, excellent reply. I am currently doing building work at a place that does electronics and their guys didn't recognise the plug. Shame as they said they'd swap it for me if I found one.

Reading all this with interest. I have XT 2x10 on my bike and have found ( so far) that I rarely use the front mech at all ( purely trail riding, no road). I was thinking of ditching it to cut down on clutter on the bars but with everyone buying special chainrings, cassettes and derailleur cages when they go 1 x however many am I missing something? Also can I change from trigger to gripshift with the xt? I know I'm weird but I prefer it massively as I badly broke my right thumb a few years back. Regarding the clutch I leave it on permanently only taking it off if I need to remove the wheel, hope that's right!

No. I've had only your reply.

Swisd Stop pacs are excellent and last well but not cheap.

Does anyone know if the yamaha haibike charger plug and battery port is a standard electrical connection that can be purchased separately? Cheers

So what if you need to tighten or change pedal..?
