I lost my key to my bike and I spoke with a locksmith and he told that I would have to take the ignition out in order for him to replace or make me a new key so I was trying to figure out how to do so

Short of removing the ignition lock and manually hot-wiring the bike, you'll need to have the lock replaced. But if you ride around with an ignition hot-wired you're bound to get stopped by police or risk having the bike stolen unless you hide a bypass switch somewhere. You could try a locksmith but you're best bet is to either order a new one through a dealership, online or find a parts bike and take it from there.

A locksmith can use your bike's ignition cylinder code or the entire ignition cylinder to make a new key. You also have the option of reordering a key from a honda CRF local dealer, using your bike's VIN. A traditional motorcycle key is the easiest key to replace.

hi there try ringing a locksmith and see if he can do it on the bike for you or more than likely you will need to take it to a locksmith or try taking it to the dealer that sell them and get him to cut a key that the lock has a number on the back of it cheers pete

hot wiring is movies go to a dealer and get vin cut key or locksmith

Before replacing ignition, take VIN to the Suzuki dealer and ask if the have the replacement key for your particular bike. They should be able to help you. Around my home, locksmiths are not cheap, so if you can get the key from the dealer, you will be better off than changing the ignition or getting a locksmith.

Hello and thanks for the question.

If you have lost the keys you only have two options. The ignition switch is the most detailed switch and will need to be replaced or have another key cut to work. I have removed the switch and taken to a locksmith with good results. The other option is to have locksmith come to the bike. the results would depend on your locksmith. When the bike was purchased new it had a tag with the keys that had a numerical code. If you have that code the dealer should be able to cut a key for it.

Remember that the key opens the ignition, fuel tank and the seat. If you can not get another key made, you will have to replace all three locks.

Thanks and I hope that this helps.

Keys here in the USA most likely come from Honda ... because most places (hardware store, discount store, locksmith) will not stock them ... Keys I am familiar with here don't have a electronic chip in them.

Easiest solution is replace the ignition switch, though most dealers should be able to cut you a key based on the VIN. If you replace the lock, make sure you get a couple spare keys made.

If you are really despirate ... the ignition switch is after all only a two position switch ... Off/on. Get a toggle switch and make it work (this is for people with advanced skills)

I had the same problem with a older honda magna. I took the ignition assembly apart, and got the actual ignition out ( part where the key goes in) and nothing else. I then took it to a locksmith and he gave me two keys that turned the ignition within minutes. He said there was a number on the ignition that determined the code he used. I would try doing this before spending that kind of money. Remember it has to be a locksmith not the dealer. Good Luck

get a key made from a locksmith

A locksmith can come and pull your ignition switch and make a key for it, if you have AAA
I think they pick up part of the cost.
