happened to me.... https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...ndalism-39120/

some options i was given:

$150 ($45 for 1 tumbler and ~$100 for labor) to replace the tumbler (drill it out) and locksmith to reset the tumbler to match current key for about $25 to $30 extra...
or...justgastanks.com and order a new ims, or buy a used one and replace the entire tank....

i went with option 2

We hope you see the advice on the other thread. Pull the tank, drain it, rinse it, fill it with water, then drill. Or better yet take it to a locksmith after the drain and rinse. It's worth the money.
