you mean lock them like, after you turn your bike off and you dont want it stollen ? push your key in and turn it then it should pop back out when its all the way locked, your handle bars have to be completely (yes all the way completely) turned to the left. you are prop not pushing the key in, if you dont it seems like its stuck or something.... if not jiggle it around a little. other than that i have never heard of a lock not working so sorry no ifo

Turn all the way left or right, push down key and turn all the way left.
Release
Push down key and turn right, turn handlebars

I had this happen to my 05 600RR for about a month, it was so hard to get the steering locked, but then when i got it locked it was a pain to get it unlocked, but after about a month or so trying to look the steering it started to work fine, so out of the 40 months ive had my bike ive only had this problem for about 1 month, which was last year, so idk what cause it to do that, sorry, just wait it out

i guess... idk man i have never heard of having that much trouble before. put the key in.. it should be at a resting point.. you can turn it on or off.. then push it in farther and turn to the left.. if it doesnt turn with the extended "push in" then maybe you just have to break it in?? or its broken.. not sure
