Hey guys Along with all the drama's Ive been having with my damn fzr250 of late, I've managed to lose my only damn key!!!! I put in in the pocket of a pair of shorts I was wearing at the time and didn't realise that these shorts had a hole in the pocket <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s -->, Now my keys gone and I don't know what to do can't find it anywhere!!! can anyone help where would I get a replacement?? This is urgent I need a key by saturday cuz that's when the bike is supposed to be getting fixed by the mechanic! =\
i was told by a lock smith, ho i've never tryed it.... find a blank key that fits.... put it in, and jiggly from left to right, make sure u dont bust the key.... now the tricky bit, take the key out and it should give u an out line of the key patteren, grab a small file and file away to make the shape..... like i said never done it, see how u go...
I really feel for you Patske, I have been walking around for a year and a half with only one key to my bike. Then I had a key cut last week, just in case of a situation like you find yourself in. I now thank my lucky stars that I did. <!-- s:angel: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_angel.gif" alt=":angel:" title="Angel" /><!-- s:angel: --> I dont have an answer for you, but good luck with it. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
a trick i learnt from my mechanical engineer father..... it works on all our dualsport bikes but i dunno about street bikes just unplug the ignition connector!!!
You could just buy another iggy switch from the breakers. There are several generic Yamaha switches on eBay. You may take the Switch off and run it down to the local Yami shop and see if they can cut a key from the info stamped on the switch. They may ask for proof of ownership though.
I've checked into prices of ignition switches (when my current ignition switch was seizing) and they were asking about $150 from wreckers. I then put some graphite into the switch and all was fixed... I would be guessing a locksmith could help you out?
OH YEAH BABY I FOUND IT!!! Lost and Found at Macquarie Uni I lOve YOU!!!! <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->
yeah the first thing i would do is get a key cut, u'll have to goto a locksmith as those keycutting places in shopping centres dont carry blanks for cars or motorbikes...it was the first thing i done when i got my bike
for sure, I work right next to a locksmith so monday at work is definitely a cut 50 million spar keys day!!!
