Motorcycle Key Creation & Duplication

Losing your motor cycle keys may put you in a difficult situation. Only solution is to create a duplicate key.

Action Required:

When you buy a motorcycle, you get two keys with a small tag that has a key tag number. If you have this number, your problem may be easily solved. You can contact your dealer and find if they can provide the duplicate key. They may refer you to a locksmith. A locksmith can create a new duplicate key that will fit your motorcycle lock and open it provided, he has a proper key blank.

Key Blank:

Most modern automobile keys have the ignition that is electronically coded. The key has a coded electronic chip in it to start the engine. Not all local dealers make the keys, but many of them carry the blanks. The key number code will help get a key blank with proper coding. The dealer can provide the key blank or order it for you. Some licensed locksmiths keep key blanks with them as well. They will make a new key you if you provide the code and produce the proof of ownership as well as your ID. You can search on the internet to find a locksmith.

No Key Code Number:

However, there can be different situations when you have lost the key. You may lose both keys, but have your key tag number. In the worst situation, you do not have any key or this number. In such a situation, check with your dealer and find if they can help to cut the duplicate key with VIN number. The VIN number gives information about country, manufacturers, model, and dealers and so on. VIN number can be located on the frame of motor cycle near the steering. Only in some extreme case, it may amount to replace the lock and ignition set.

Key Cutting:

Motorcycle key creation and duplication require some time to create a new key. The cutter machine with the locksmith is a computer-programmed machine with software. There are different programs for various makes and models. He will set the machine and feed your key tag number to cut the key from the specific key blank.

Make sure you have at least two extra keys next time.
