I have never used mine lol....

I brought a Kyptonite lock that goes on the front disc and then have a stretchy bungy type cord attached to that and then out the other end up on the handlebars so that I dont forget that I have the disc lock on.

You should have a funny L shape key for the steering lock which is on the left hand side.

Make sure you have the bars turned to the right. If you can't get the key out just gently move the bars a little. Either that or put some CRC on the key and then push the key in and out of the lock a few times before trying to lock it - this will ease up the tumblers in the barrel.

Glad you are enjoying your new baby!!!
