Lost my only key....

Post by weasel »

Hello,

I may have lost the only key I have to my bike..... Does anyone know what I need to replace and how much this is going to cost?

Break it to me gently....

Thanks,

Gav

Early or late (HISS) model?

If early get the lock off and try a locksmith or > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VTR1000-Fires ... 460c79da0c

If HISS (Honda Ignition Security System) you're financially buggered. > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOOK-HONDA-VT ... 1e73857779

That reminds me I must get a spare key cut for mine. Lets hope is not HISS :roll: If not your best option is 2nd hand parts as wicky has posted. They are all easy to change. I think that could work out cheaper than getting a locksmith to make a key from the barrel.

Thanks for the replies guys. I found my key. My 5 year old daughter thought she'd take it to school. My wife found it in her coat!

My bike is the HISS model. Glad I ain't got to spend £300 on new locks! (That can pay for new silencers!!)

Cheers,

Lucky for you she didn't play swapsies in the playground!

Check the thread here on copying spare HISS keys.

No it wasn't.
Lucky would be getting the OK to spend £300 on a new lock then finding the key yourself, meaning that you had £300 to spend on other bits.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
