Default Lost Key!!

Well I made a bonehead move and lost my only key to my bike. Since I'm the 2nd owner I also never got the card that the original owner was given that had the key # on it. Right now I have my gas cap at a lock smith to see if they can make a key to fit but if that doesn't work does anyone have any ideas on how I can get another key for it. I don't really want to have to find an ignition and a gas cap that are keyed the same. Thanks for the help.

You didn't specify if you had an rr or not but on my rr the key doesn't go in the gas lid all the way so I don't see how that will work.

If the locksmith can't make a key then maybe they can replace the mechanisms. It'll cost ya but prolly cheaper than a dealer.

I have a 98 f3. My gas cap is at a lock smith now and they are going to rekey that and my ignition if they can't come up w/ a copy of the original key. I tried going to a dealer but since I don't have the key # they can't make a key.

I had a hole in my pocket that I didn't know about and had the key in there while I was at a concert. Luckilly I had my car w/ me that night so I didn't need the key to get home but now I have no way to start my bike. I think I'm just going to pull the cylinder and have it rekeyed along w/ the gas cap.

A new ignition switch maybe the way to go, or maybe a used one from ebay

A new one does me no good really because I still wouldn't have a key for the gas tank. Going to get them rekeyed together.

Yea, take off the tank lock and give it to a locksmith, they should be able to get it made for you.

Make more than one also.
