Help with pulling ignition switch on 1983 KZ250

Hey guys- my girlfriend has a 1983 KZ250 and seems to have misplaced the keys. I lost my keys last year (1981 GL500) and ended up just pulling the ignition switch barrel and taking it to a locksmith. Has anyone here pulled the ignition and have any advice? Also, does anyone know where I could find a link to the service manual for this bike?

Much appreciated.

If the switch is anything like the larger bikes then it is held in place by 2 Allen screw from below. Remove headlight . Disconnect the wiring connectors inside. Remove or drop the entire headlight bucket and use a flashlight to find those 2 screws if you have poor eyesight like me
