Under the steering column are wires, one of which is a fine gauge, yellow with an oval cross section, sort of flattened. This wire is the wire that is measuring the resistance of your special ignition key that has a security resistor embedded in it. Measure the resistance across the resistor that is embedded in your original key (I went to a specialty accessories car store where they briefed me on this problem). You can find a list of all the resistor values that GM used for these keys if you need a ball park value to make sure. Once you know this resistor value you will need to solder it into the yellow wire after snipping it away from steering column. You will still have to use your old/new expensive $25 keys with the resistor embedded, however, if your key's resistor value stops from being detected by the sensor in your steering column you have already fooled the security system to make it appear as though the key is working perfectly security wise. I have tried to use generic keys from Home Depot that do not have the resistor buried in them, however, the shape must not be right since they fail to turn the ignition.

Ignition code for 05 Yamaha banshee lost key?
Remove the ignition, (the part that you put your key into,) and on it will be a black sticker. On this sticker will be a code. THAT code is the key code for your ignition. Go to a reputable Locksmith and take your ignition with you. Give him the code you wrote down and ask for him to make you a key for it. Have him verify that the code you read is the same one he reads off it. He'll make the key and try it in the ignition. Should it work fine, WRITE THE CODE DOWN on your quad, like under the seat or in a place you can get to and won't wear away. That way, should you be out of state riding and lose your key again, you'll have the code with you and can get another made. Should you NOT be able to read the code, take the ignition to the Locksmith and he can make a key for you anyway by picking it and taking it apart. Used to be a Locksmith, so I'm speaking from experience
