AlexRowe Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hi all, i'm a complete noob to biking so forgive me if this sounds dumb. I recently bought a yamaha dragstar 125 and (rather stupidly) managed to loose the only key i had. Unfortunately i do not have the key number so cannot just order a new one. I spoke to a locksmith who said he could make me a new one for £25 if i brought him the ignition barrel. the question is, how do i remove the ignition barrel? there seems to be some sort of plastic panel which the barrel pokes out of, i can't for the life of me work out how to get this panel off and i'd really rather not have to cut it off. thanks, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABxv535 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 You're not alone, that happened to me too... I've done the same and send the ignition barrel away, when it came back it fitted the ingnition but didn't fit anything else so had to send it again but had to send the seat lock as well, so they've had two locks to check it... On my bike it's only a alankey bolt that holds the barrel... Wouldnt know how to remove yours sorry, but would advise u to send more than one lock or u might end up with the same problem as me...

Ttaskmaster Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 If you have proof of ownership, take all that along (with the bike) and they will impression the lock, then cut a new set of keys from that, to fit the existing lock. If they won't, they are not decent lockies and you should find another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulwhite Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 its allot of hassle to get it off but here it goes. 1.take seat off 2.undo bolt closest to tank (under the seat) 3.take off the chrome speedo to undo the speedo cable and wiers 4.turn petrol tap off and disconnect the pipe 5.lift the back of the tank and pull back-wards (walk it out) 6.put tank to one side 7.undo the black plastic surround(might need to take coils off)and it clips together 8.have a good look at the lock and see how it attaches (i forget what mine is like at this point) 9.disconnect wiers and undo fixings 10.have a cup of tea (done) 11.put back together in reverse order as i said its allot of hassle! so probs best get a decent lock smith.
