Where can you get new keys???

[04efi]

Hey guys I went down to our local key god and asked him to make me a copy due to bending one of my spare keys. He told me he cannot do my motorcycle, so i left. I dunno if wal -mart will have them or not and right now its a little ways away to go there. So where have you guys gotten your keys and had them keyed to your bike at????

I tried Wal-Mart and didn't have any luck. The only thing I can recommend is to call around to different locksmiths which is what I did.

Dealership? When I bought my bike new it came with 2 keys and a little metal tag that has a number on it. I believe you need this tag if you ever loose your keys and need new ones cut/ordered.

I know I've seen Yamaha FZ6 key 'blanks' for sale on eBay. Not sure if that helps getting one of those, then taking it to a key cutter?

Mine never had a tag on it... I'm guessing even with the blanks do you think walmart could copy my good key to make more??

Walmart can do it! Tell them to use a GM blank key. I think a number 3 or something. Not sure. But I got a couple cut at walmart the other day. Lowes wouldnt do it, but walmart would. Next door to each other using the same machine.

I bought my bike used and the original owner only gave me one key. I bent the key some dumb way (don't even remember) and It wouldn't fit into the ignition cylinder. Dealership machine was broken. I bought a blank on ebay but lowe's and home depot couldn't cut it. All of my local locksmith/keyshops couldn't do it either. Called around and finally found a place about 20 miles away that said they could "copy any key". And copy it they did, after pounding it back to flat.
Just keep calling around and good luck.

When they say they can't make a copy of a motorcycle key, look at them puzzled and tell them its the lockout key on your electric piano. Tell them Yamaha makes musical instruments! Actually they did before they ever made bikes. I did that at home depot and the guy cut me a key....Hahaha! :Flip: :rockon:

That sort of wrong anyway. I can get keys made all day long for my car....

as a dealer we used to order them i think they were around $20 a piece.... A blank is usually the biggest thing but if you have that number, I thought it was at the base of the key as well and they can get you one....

I ordered a blank Yamaha key off ebay. Then, took it to the local Ace Hardware to get copied off my original key. Guy asked how much I paid and stuff and said he couldn't guarantee anything. I said, FINE, I understand (not really, WTF, what's so special about about a motorcycle key--I mean, I have the blank???). Anyway, it works GREAT! Why are people paranoid about copying a blank Yamaha key. Is this a federal felony offense or something? I don't get it.
