It sounds like you need to replace the (electric)ignition switch. When they go bad you will usually hear a crunch sound, they can be so bad as to overheat and cause other issues.
There's probably nothing wrong with the OEM key/barrel.
Try to turn the steering wheel gently from side to side while pulling on the key. Quite often the steering lock engages with the steering wheel shaft and it makes it difficult to get the key out while the shaft puts pressure on the lock.
You could remove the ignition switch, take it along to your locksmiths and get him to make you a key, you will need a key for the petrol tank cap, you could buy a used ignition barrel with a key, and swap the top of the switch over with yours most yamahas use the same base, you will still be left with the tank key issue, be carefull hotwireing as more than 1wire is joined you may cause some damage, if you are that desperate to get it going, remove the barrel undo the screws securing the lock to the switch, and simply turn the switch with a screwdriver, you can then replace the lock when you get a key for it
Hi ,
If you mean the ignition key barrel ??? The key needs to be inserted into the switch assy and turned to (usually) the first key position, there will be a small hole in the barrel assy in order to press a locating pin (check replacement barrel for exact location). Press the pin and pull the key assy from the barrel assy. ( door locks can be coded to new key also) Good Luck
replace the whole ignition barrel with new key and get key programmed by dealer
can remove barrel and key by removing steering column covers turn ignition to on position and with small shank screw driver push in hole in outer top rear section of barrel assembly then pull out ignition lock barrel with key in it. fit new lock barrel and key, program new key into system and can get door lock barrels coded to suit new key or get code for old key and cut new key so it fits mechanical locks on the rest of the vehicle (just wont turn in ignition) 2 keys for vehicle.
