Ignition switch slipping 2010 K1300GT

Hey guys. Sorry if there's a thread about this already but I didn't see one.

My husband and I both have K-GTs. His is a 2010 and on our last trip his key started rotatating freely in the ignition switch. It no longer clicks in each position. Has this ever happened to anyone? Anyone know what is involved with fixing?

Thanks!
 
Do y’all have a second key to try?

If the key cycles on/ off and bike runs would think a key module #1, if no power on/ off it could be the lower electric part of switch #2
The common failure is a random no power that sometimes can be remedied turning key on and off many times until that stops working!

Didn’t see #1 which holds the key cylinder listed separate on a list on the small screen :dunno

The two screws shown , #3,are tamper proof and will need to be drilled out, all upside down! Doable but a PITA
 
Full power but no click between positions. Didnt think to try another key. We can do that. Our dealership did the fuel pump recall on it today and the guy was clueless about resolving the ignition issue.

Welcome to the forum!
I would try flushing the lock with WD-40 and then working the key. After a few rounds you should be able to “feel” something trying to rub to the stops.
Good luck.
