RE: Front Fork Locks on a 500
Turn the bars all the way left,insert key and turn all the way left to were it say lock. You might have to move the handle bars a little to alow the locking pin into its hole in the frame. If that still dosent solve it remove the key and turn it 180 degrees around and repeat the first steps over. Last still not working is the key acopy or origanl,if a copy it could be off a bit ,but if oe than you might need a new ignition switch.Let me Know how it goes.

If the wheel was locked when it went down it could have bent the locking shaft in the ignition..
does ether one of the bar ends have damage on it ? and how much?
maybe the previous owner was able to get the locking shaft back inside the ignition.
was the bike stored outside, in the rain and elements? If so the ignition could be just a little locked up.. get some penetrating oil and spray it down the key hole, and work the key around in the ignition. Try to get some buy the locking shaft too.

There doesn't appear to be any damage and as far as I know the guy always stored the bike inside. But I think this weekend I'll try some penetrating oil and see if that works, thanks for the suggestion. I don't know what I'd do without you guys
