lost key

[studysession]

What is best way to address I lost my key?

Can the dealer cut a new key if I have the VIN number or what do I do? Called locksmiths locally and they do not do motorcycle keys.

Thanks -:clap:

I'm not trying to be funny but........can you picture in your head the last time you seen your key?

Friday morning I pulled the key out of a pants pocket and no idea what happened after..... Let's put it this way my room has never been this clean.... I cleaned everything in my room looking for this key

Are you sure its not in the ignition on the bike ?

[studysession]

searched the bike and the SUV..... been cleaning through my room looking through everything

Now you know why you should always have a spare key. When you find the key your 1st job is to go to a locksmith to get another key or 2. Most locksmiths will have blanks to make more keys.

Is the key for you gas cap the same as the ignition on your bike? If so, a locksmith should be able to make key. If locksmith does not have blank, he should be able to order one. The gas cap lock is easy to access and take apart. I have misplaced a few keys over the years and have found some in the washer and or dryer after searching every where else a hundred times. Take gas cap to locksmith and see what he says. Maybe after looking at it,he will come up with a plan.

Key blank from Suzuki is $13.79. (part #37146-33E00)

How do you get the gas cap off, to take it to the locksmith, if you haven't got the key? :hmm:

First thing is think why you pulled the key out of your pants pocket. Was your action something you routinely do? Were you going to start the bike???Were you going to eat some cereal then go ride your bike?? I have accidently dropped my keys in the laundry basket , trash can, a shoe, kitchen sink (cause it got knocked in after I laid it next to it), sock drawer. Try to follow your steps after you removed the key out of your pants pocket. What was the very next thing you did? And did after that? If you did not leave the house then it is in or at your house.

thanks

Thanks Alantf. Thats what happens when one looks at the posts after a long work day. Those little gray cells just do not work. Sorry Studysession. I have removed the seat lock before. I was working on the GZ and laid the key in the tray under the seat and put the seat on. Just as it snapped shut, I remembered the key. OOPS!!! I will talk to a local motorcycle shop and see what they have to say about the problem. Sorry Studysession for steering you wrong with the gas cap idea.

I hope you find you key. Tracing my steps works for me. The quest for the key continues.......

[studysession]

Thanks and yes it does continue
Tomorrow will go over to the dealer and talk to them..... So far any locksmith I called won't bother with no real explaination

If you can get under the seat, you can get the gas tank off. Drain the gas and take it to the locksmith.

I lost my scooter key at work and have yet to find it and that scooter is long gone!

When I get any vehicle besides expensive chip keys, I make 5 keys for it so I have 6.
Then you put one of those keys in your sock drawer, one on key rack, one on my girlfriend's key chain, one at work and the last one is one you keep on your key chain.

Also I have my girlfriends and her mom's keys and we all have each others keys so we can unlock each other. It happens more than you want it too.


Hope you find your key! Locksmith made my gz keys from SUZ blanks I have to get one to write down

[studysession]

Will be posting part of a video tutorial once video edited....
ignition has been removed from the bike and is in the hands of a lock smith. Thanks

That's a good relief. The Suzuki key blanks I got have ILCO X241 SUZ18 on them. They only cost a couple dollars each.

[studysession]

Need to put ignition back in but I do have 2 sets of keys now :)

Will post video over the weekend

[gz4me +]

Glad to hear you got new keys. What did it cost you to get it fixed? I still feel bad for my comments on the gas cap. When I read my post the following day, I felt really stupid. Looking forward to watching your video on process of removing ignition switch.

[chromedome195]

Glad to hear you solved your problem.

Enjoy!

[grasshopper]

Good to hear you can ride again.

I don't know if this will help but I just made a key copy at a locksmith.
I bought the blank on ebay for 99 cents and had it cut for 2 dollars. If you find your key, I recommend you go this way, it's the cheapest I could find.

[raul10141964]

my local blacksmith have blanks on stack

[golem]

My local blacksmith does too but they are 4 dollars. Not a huge expense but still.

Hope this is helpful to others
