Well said Txmorgan. If its not stolen then you shouldn't have any issues taking it to Honda and letting them fix it. Small price to pay for a broken key. And this forum is full of great information, you have to ask the right questions to get the right answers.

"if thats still too touchy for you people well then i guess im **** out of luck and this forum is a waste of time"



Brand new to the forum, and all of your 6 posts are about this. What a joke. You sound like a waste of time.

yea not a good way to start and ask for information, if u cant understand why we dont wanna give u information like that then i dont know what to tell u but txmorgan said it perfect, so u can either take it to honda and "pay an arm and a leg" and get it fixed or mess with it until u figure it out

thats pretty much giving you the ammo to drive to my house start my bike and drive away, bring it to the shop let a pro do the job, it will be a much better idea. I agree with all the posts above.

well if the broken part is in the ignition its a matter of gravity, So take the bike grab the wheels pick it up and flip it upside down and shake the key should pop out and you just have to go get another one made...

Easy as my ex's

you will have to keep 2 keys, one of the new ignition and another key for the fuel cap.

i checked them out myself on my bike. Those are torx screws.

All you need is a torx driver or a set of torx bits. cheap solution

and the locksmiths couldnt get the key out because the key broke in the ON position and we couldnt get the key to turn the OFF position.
