Bike is in pretty good condition overall, though I have no title or key. Abandoned by the PO who has since relocated from CO to MI. After speaking with him he will work on getting me the title. As for the key, I removed the ignition cylinder and brought it to a locksmith who was able to cut a key. When I reconnected the cylinder and turned the key, only the brake light and front parking light came on... that said the key only turns the cylinder 45 degrees. Based on pictures of others bikes, the key needs to rotate a full 90 degrees to go from "off" to "on", with a "P" in between (which I assume means parking?)... So Im wondering if the key that was cut is only turning the cylinder 45 degrees to the "P" location... can anyone confirm the 90 degree movement from off to on?
