If anyone needs to replace any of the locks on your OEM cases and want the keep it keyed to the ignition key, I stumbled on a cheap, easy way at Yamabits.
Below is what comes in Yamaha kit PN: 59C-281C0-00 The nomenclature is 'Yamaha Lock Set 39L and 59L Top Case. (No worries; it fits our cases)' There is a flip down menu for 'type of lock' Choose 'Single Key Operation.'
Shown below is the kit contents, complete with 5 of each size of slider, the lock cylinder and the slider springs.
This shows a close-up of the cylinder with the slides inserted. They insert into a detent with minimal pressure. You can use a small screwdriver to push them in place. If you need to remove them (happens during the matching process unless you have calipers), turn the clinder over and push the slide out from the bottom into a napkin so you don't lose the tiny spring that's underneath the slide. **You will know when you have the proper slider size inserted because both ends of the slider will be flush with the key-cylinder body (not protruding) with the key inserted.**
Here is a close-up, but under-exposed pic of a slide and one of the springs.
The kits comes complete with instructions that show you how to determine which size of slide goes where by relating slide numbers (1-4) to caliper measurements in millimeters, but their diagram is mis-indexed. I eye-balled it and was correct most of the time. If not right the first time, you'll get it right in a max of 3 more tries for each slot. Easy peasy because there are only 4 sizes of slides.
I hope not many of you have occasion to do this, but just in case.
Cheers!
