Posted September 19, 200816 yr I've lost my ignition key and need help determining the cheapest way to get a replacement. I own a Seca 900. Can you please help. thanks, Roy
September 19, 200816 yr See if the local key-cutting place can impression one from the lock. Try an independant one, rather than a multi-branch place like Timpsons, though. Failing that, any decent Locksmith should be able to do it, though it may cost. You can make one yourself using a hacksaw blade and a set of files. Instructions are on the internet. Is it one of them that has electric signally bits in it? If so, a pro Lockie should be able to copy you one up using the vehicle codes. This might still be cheaper than getting one off the manufacturer. Shit - How do I know this stuff??? Am I that much of a feckin' geek?

September 22, 200816 yr Roy, the best (& some times cheapest) way to get a new key is to remove the ignition yourself & take it to a locksmith, who will locate the key number (this can be on the side or behind the barrel) & cut a new key from a selection of masters that are issued to qualified locksmiths by manufacturers.
September 27, 200816 yr i purchased a 96 yzf w/o a key and i removed the seat lock and the top of the triple tree with the ignition in it. i gave it to a local locksmith and 20 dollars later.... voila running bike.
