Lost My Key

[02Yellow400]

Alrigh I lost both my keys. Does anyone how much its going to cost me to get a some new ones made? And i dont have the key #. All i need is the VIN right? And proof of ownership when i go to the dealer. 001

the key # is on the switch, take that # too your dealer he has a book and key cutter too make you a new one

[02Yellow400]

Thanks I wasnt sure if the key # would be on that ignition part or not. Do you have any idea what thats gonna cost me? I cant see it being any more then like 25 bucks. Sucks that I cant ride in the new snow

I just had a new key cut, and it was only $5. But that was making a copy of one I already had. They shouldn't charge you more if they have to look it up. It only takes them a couple a more minutes to make.

less than 5$, if it's easy too remove take the switch with you, that will save you a trip if the key doesn't work

Thanks alot. I will be going to the dealer tommorow and getting 5 or 6 keys made so i never have to go through this again. Everyone is out riding and im sitting inside cause I lost my key .

until then you can just hotwire it, its pretty easy:D

[02Yellow400]

Yeah. How do i hotwire it without messing anything up? Just so i know incase i lose me keys again.

[rebel red ex]

all you do to hot wire is unplug the ignition and plug the two wires togather. simple

[02Yellow400]

I though there were 4 wires? Which ones get plugged together? And also i looked for the # on the switch and it wasnt there. Am I able to just take all my paper work with the VIN # and stuff to the dealer to have them do it?

[toby400ex]

call the dealer and ask:confused:

Hot wiring your ignition is easy. My key asembly went out on my 400ex this weekend, and that's what I did to fix it. All you have to do is wire the red (hot) wire to the solid black (ground) and leave the lower black with a stripe wire alone. to test to make sure yours is the same, cut a piece of wire off and just stick it in the slots and try to start it first. If it works then just hard wire it. Also you'll have to disconnect your neutral light because it will constantly stay on.(it did for me). Then get out your electrical tape and go to town.

If you connect the wrong two you blow a fuse,so be careful. I was practicing, just in case I ever forgot my key.

[02Yellow400]

Thanks for all the help. Im gonna go take out my switch and bring it to the dealer. 2 Keys for 10 bucks so im just going to get like 4 keys made. Thanks for the help though. Now i know if lose all these keys i can hot wire it
