My wife put graphite in the ignition. Is there any way to fix this so it doesn't short out the ignition?

Question:
It's an 1100 Goldwing Interstate.

Answers:

Motorcycle or moped?

Your wife is smarter than you are. Graphite is what you're suppose to use. Any you spray into the key opening isn't going to reach the electrical contacts.

Is it truth that when u ride ur bike without helmet is like doing a chick with no condom?

Hi : Do you mean in the ignition key switch ? If so don't worry it is a dry lubricant used in the industry to keep locks from freezing and it will not short out anything electrical. If you are still worried try using a wet and dry vac to suck it out .Then get some electrcal parts cleaner (aerosol type),Disconnect the battery,spray in the cylinder make sure you have a paper towel below to absorb the excess to flush out the cylinder,after you do the wet/dry. Good Luck

What type of ATV should i get my kid?

Graphite is the right lube to use. It will not short out your switch. If you have a lot in there, the excess can be blown out with a blast of compressed air.

Want 2 upgrade exhaust system for a Vulcan 900 Custom (Is a fuel management Fi2000R really needed)?

Like Nomad said, graphite is supposed to used in locks of all kinds. Locksmiths use and recommend it.
It's dry, so it doesn't attract dirt and dust.
And it's not electrically conductive. So no shorting is possible.
Maybe you should have your wife do all of you're maintenance LOL (tell her I said that). It's not to ridicule you, no one knows everything.

Is a 2002 Suzuki katana 750 motorcycle a good bike to buy.?

Powdered Graphite is the lubricant of choice for locksets, so I don't guess you have anything to worry about. Your ignition keyy will just work easier/better.
