If its the same as the 1000a1, there is a tiny slotted screw holding it in, take it out and pull the cylinder out, might want a bit of easing oil.

mine has a split type of selok pin in the middle of the lock and 2 slots inside the headstock one for locking and one further down for unlocking so just turn the key quarter of a turn so pin in middle should be able to remove it.this is on my z1a.
