Modern Vespa

Know people don't like talking about keys on the forum but,
My keys have got stuck in the barrel and won't budge a inch, it's currently stuck with steering lock on, but the keys won't move to unlock or come out barrel.

Any ideas how to pull the the keys out?

I've tried knocking the barrel from the back to jump the lock pins but to no avail.

Et4 leader

Try and rock the steering left and right a fraction while you pull on the key. Also, is there any chance you can spray some WD-40 into the barrel using the straw attachment? Other products are better for loosening the lock, but most people seem to have WD-40 somewhere at home!

I would try squirting some lubricant into the lock.

Yeah I've got plenty of wd40, I did spray it but couldn't find the straw attachment, I'll give it another proper go with the straw .

Very irritating problem to have

Definitely wiggle the handlebars a bit as well while pulling on the key. When the steering lock is on, the key will only release when the handlebars are at a precise angle. Moving it by a few millimetres left and right could release the keys.

I had an ET4 for many many years - this happened to me and WD40 did the trick

How did you get it out ?

Both the key and the pins in the lock could just be worn, and something slippery might help the key slide out. If you haven't had a problem like that before, and the parts are just worn, that should work. About the only other possibility is that something broke inside the lock.
