    Hello, have done a search as thought this was a common fault with these but can't find anything.

    AJS Firefox, usually starts fine however every now and then there seems to be a key/ ignition barrel issue.

    Turn the key and nothing powers up, if I give the key a wiggle, take it out and put it in and wiggle it more we have power.

    Obvious answer is worn key and or barrel but the bike's only five years old and hasn't done that many miles, anyone got any ideas/ things to try before I start looking into replacing the barrel?

    Thanks

    Lubricate it. Wd40 chain grease anything will help.
