yea, when you turn your key all the way to the left, it should lock the steering.
my bolt misses by 1/16 so it doesnt work

Mine works, although my key is so worn I can take it out with the engine still running

Mine too.I find it convenient,I can pull the key out and check my gas while riding

Just don't fill up when running...

Mine works oddly enough if I turn it far enough my hazards come on!

fzr's have hazards? how do i turn them on? my lock works, when i turn it to lock all the way left the tail light comes on but i cant remove the key, 1 click to the right and it stays locked but the tail light goes off and the key comes out. im still suprised that there are hazard on the bike, i really want to check that out now.

Mine works too but it is fairly stiff and I don't ever really use it

Mine does that too...the manual calls it the "Parking" setting, although other than draining the battery I can't think of a valid use for it . My steering lock works, but not when the bars are cranked all the way over...I need to pull them back a bit towards center to be able to turn the key into "Lock".

hi,
cannot say mine does the lights bit but the slight move on the bar to get it exact to lock is common on most of my Yamaha's ('79 onward )

Exactly I don't have the owners manual for mine so if it calls it Parking then that would make sense. I figured Hazard because it activated the turn signals also. In regards to locking I also find that I have to pull the bars a little bit back toward center to engage the lock.
