Locking the front fork

[pcarrell]

I have to give the fork a wiggle, but it'll go then.

Mine doesn't work with a crap since new. Neither does a friends.  The only flaw on the bike. Sore spot i guess.

I know on my 1500 I have to move the fork around a bit to find the right lock position. Same with unlocking!

Hello, you must move the fork something, until you feel this the lock goes in. Maybe with some Oil help. Move the fork to the left.
