Key Change Day!

[chrisflock]

Slow day in paradise George?
I had keys made last week as the stock keys are crap. After three ignition swaps and two different locksets on the bike I gotta get organized. Good reminder George.

Are the new keys "better" or did you just get new ones because of the chance of bending them? If they are better material, where'd you get them?

HRZ - I went into the local key shop some time ago to have a replacement key cut, and they had a Yamaha compatible blank. I am not sure of the alloy, but the shavings were not brass (yellow) colored.

After they cut the new key, it needed a bit of hand filing to make it work, but it seemed(?) slightly more "stout" than the OEM model! HTH

Ditto for me. The keys are alloy. No filing needed. Multiple motorcycle keys made by them and they all work well. No problem getting them cut at a real key maker (not a big box store). And they don't bend.

I bent my key once by accident. It was awful. I couldn't walk for a week.

I mean, I, uh, yeah, I noticed the stock key for my FJR seems to be made of a weak material. I have a copy made at a key shop that seems stronger, and I use that primarily. No body wants a bent key, that's for sure! :blushing:

All these blanks are better 'n stock:

Ilco #: YH35RBP/YM63

Curtis #: YM63

Silca #: YH35RBP

Ilco #: YM63

Taylor #: X248

Silca #: YH35R

Similar information is in the '06-'09 Bin-O-Facts (Generation II); these are also the same key blanks for a Gen I.

I'm still freaking awake reading this swill, and not quite believing I'm not tired.
Somebody hit me with a hammer or I'm going to read an oil thread to get to sleep!

Working night shift today - I hope ?!

As long as it is a hammer like the clowns use in the circus. Sure!

I'm willing to donate a pair of my boxers as a door prize too. Somebody could use it as a bike cover I bet!
