I`m going to put this here since it has something to do with the ignition system.
Just in case you are looking for a replacement key for your bike I`ve found this site,
Motorcycle keys.com.
Be careful which key you order. The Triumph 2 key is the one they say will fit our bikes. They also carry two versions of a key for our steering lock, one is the Triumph 3P and the other is the all metal Triumph 3M.
