Attempted theft left my ignition/steering lock cylinder broken. Can’t get the lock to disengage or start the motorcycle. What are my options if the only goal is to get it to a shop? I’d imagine i can’t use a motorcycle trailer with the front wheel full turned left.

Thief was a few nuggets short of a happy meal and couldn’t steal my VTR1000, looks like they used a screwdriver to try to brute force an unlock and failed. Downside now the key won’t unlock the steering or start the bike.

I’m assuming the fix here is just replacing the ignition lock cylinder assembly? I can’t unlock the steering to even push the bike onto a truck. Not sure how I’m gonna get it to the shop.

Sorry, i know this is the 100th post about it but im not very computer savvy. I JUST downloaded for the first time a hour or two ago. I understand that the issue is fixed but what programs can/should I run just for peace of mind? Thank you dev for your hard work fixing this.

I have ran rkill, malwarebytes, avast, and hitmanpro, avast caught something but it seems to not be the amd file name I saw posted on here and it was old.

Also, is there any activity I should keep an eye out for? unusual sign in or anything like that?

Original engine, from what I remember not much major maintenance aside from an alternator replacement?

He’s had it since brand new and uses it for work. It’s not even dead, the valves are leaking oil and burning it and the fix would cost more than what he could get for it. Plus with gas prices he’s deciding to get something with better MPG. Shame it didn’t make it to 1 million.
