Loose lock cylinder

Did someone try to steal it?

I went out to my scooter this morning, and the lock cylinder was laying on the street. I can still operate the scooter with difficulty, but would like to know what is wrong and how to fix it.

I had the same thing happen on my 2016 C650 GT. I believe it is a known issue, probably due to the multi function movement of ignition, steering lock, fuel cap and seat release. Wear allows the barrel to come out. I solved it by replacing the complete unit. It's an easy job but the parts are about £150 and you will need to order the parts with your vin number to ensure that your key fits.
