Title: Replacement Keys (Not blanks)
Post by: jamestnewsonr65 on March 31, 2017, 06:40:54 AM

So i have just picked up my other bike and there is no key for the seat or for the steering lock. Might have to take the seat and subframe off to get the tank off.

Is there a way to get replacement keys for these?

So the ignition key doesn't fit these?  Sounds like a previous owner had the ignition lock replaced at some point but left the steering and seat lock as they were.  If you could obtain the original key number from somewhere (original dealer / factory) you might be able to get a key cut from that?

I think that at some point it has been replaced. The key fits the seat, but just wont turn.

Then again the key does fit the fuel filler cap and locks/unlocks this, so maybe the seat lock has been replaced at some point.
