I ride alot far into the desert alone for camping and such. it will totally suck to have this bike not start cause the key and the ignition switch were/are worn. Today I nearly had to have it hauled back to my house from the bank because the key would not turn to the on position no matter if I pushed down, let it up or ,removed and put it back in. After messing with it for some 25 minutes it finally went to on and I rode it straight home. I am a function over looks person. I can afford to figure the wiring out a lot cheaper than I can buy a new switch and key. I did this in the old days to a 900 Kaw and it worked great till the bike was ready for the junkyard.   Logged     Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before it is too late!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #378454 Milateket (User) North Of The Boarder Platinum Boarder Posts: 1844 Re:How can I hotwire my R* 1 Year ago   Speaking of getting a key made. Where do you get the code from for the key. I asked about this at a dealership when i first got the bike and was told that it was in the ignition housing and was "an involved procedure" to gain access to it... I figured "involved procedure" meant big bucks for labour $40.00 for a new Yamaha key...   Logged     Loren North Of The Boarder Cape Breton   The administrator has disabled public write access. #378455 Wewalaw (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 374 Re:How can I hotwire my R* 1 Year ago   The key is made of softer material than the ignition so it will wear..... instead of the ignition internals wearing. I have had worn keys copied, you just need to find someone who has experience in cutting keys...try your smaller local hardware stores. I would think the dealer would want to help little things like that is what make's repeat customers. Good luck!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:How can I hotwire my R* 1 Year ago   I had an extra key made last year. Yami wanted 15 bucks just for the pretty yami blank, before cutting it. I went to the local locksmith, he had a blank and cut it for 2.99   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #378490 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !
