My key on my 400 ex will not turn on i think it is frozen. Any suggestions?

 

lock de-icer. squirt some in the key hole. it comes in a little squirt bottle like Dristan nasal spray. i believe methyl hydrate is pretty well the same chemical. after yer done, spray some dry-graphite or WD40 in the key hole.

 

I have the opposite, I cant get my key out!!!, weve even tryed taking pliers and a rag and pulling, hell we just gave up maybe it will unfreeze?

 

what about heating up the key, or trying lock de-icer / methyl hydrate?

 

how about a hair dryer, seen a guy do that to unfreeze his buttons on the handle bars

 

sounds like a great idea!!

 

could also be mud inside it. Our trx 90 did the same thing the other day, I had to blow the junk out of it with an air nozzle.

 

If water gets into that keyhole and is able to dry it may be corrosion, just spray some dry graphite and move the key in and out. To get the key out you will need some pliers and a rag, put the rag on and pull STRAIGHT up not crooked. Hope this helps!

get it in is easy, take a lighter, heat the key up real hot and put it in and turn, may take 2-3 or trys but allways works well
