Fazer Gen 1 key

[NorthWestern]

Hi,


When I got my bike it only had one key and its pretty worn.  The ignition switching on is a bit of a faff sometimes requiring a bit of a key jiggle to get it to turn.  Using the steering lock is a bit of a no-go, I used it once at work and it took 5 mins of jiggling/twisting/swearing to unlock it (locking it is smooth as silk though...).


I have blasted it with WD40 etc but it didn't really improve (although I didn't blast it for long...).  I heard that worn keys can cause this as well, seeing as mine is fairly worn out I was going to get a new one cut.


Can you get the key code from the bike?  I believe that a key cut from mine will simply replicate the worn profile and to do it properly requires the key code.

Go to a Yamaha dealer. Assuming the locks haven't been changed, they will be able to get a new key cut from the codes they have access to.

A locksmiths with a computer key cutting machine should be able to sort you out, or ask you local key cutter to reduce the depth of the cutter a bit to compensate for the wear.

cool.  I will give the local dealer a call at the weekend, failing that I will find a locksmith that might be able to do it.


Cheers!
