Ttaskmaster Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Your local Professional Auto Locksmiths will do you a set for a decent price. Shop around and get some quotes to sift out the cowboys, though. Not all the ones in the phonebook are professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Welch Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Can I just replace the Key on my 1981 Yamaha Maxim 550 without replacing the lock? If so where can I look to find one. My Yammy dealer says that with the ignition number they can order me a brand new factory key for both my 1980 XS400 and my 1980 XS1100. I think they want like $40 for the key though, and I keep thinking about it as I have only a single key for each bike, but then I could probably go down to a locksmith and get a set made cheaper, but they might not look quite as nice, or say yamaha on them.

He will cut you one for $14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 For $40 a pro Lockie will cut you 3 keys. And yes, they will have nice keys that say Yamaha on them!! Professionals get their business through word of mouth, so their work has to be good enough and their prices reasonable enough to attract repeat business and recommendations.

Yeah, I gotta find one that can setup all my fairing and bag keys to be the same, might be fun since right now they don't even all take the same style key.

But they may be able to find plugs that fit the cylinderways. From there they can re-pin the locks to match the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
