"its on the key" Ok ID10T, obviously he wouldn't need the code if he still had the key, and there is no key code on the key otherwise anyone who just happens to see it and take note of it while you pull it out, would be able to go have a key made from it and steel your bike. I've got an '87 Virago 535 that while parked in my parents garage over winter, a woman they hired to clean the place somehow lost my only key to it. So I've been looking for the same answer to this question! I'm a AAA member so I thought I'd just call them. They told me there are no locksmiths in my area that carry the correct key blanks (Denver, I find that hard to believe but why would they lie?). They told me all they could do is tow my bike to a dealership. So I then called the nearest dealer who told me that my bike is too old and they don't have the ability to make a key from the VIN on my title like a car dealership can, but gave me 2 other options. 1) They could send away for the key using my VIN, which would take 4 weeks and $50 to get a key. 2) I could get the code from my ignition and they could make a key from that. So I took off my ignition and there was no visible code on the exterior of it so I had to open it up by taking off the 2 screws on the back. After I took the back off I found a plastic piece with 2 copper dimpled (kinda like Braille) pads on it that when the key is turned line up and connect with the copper terminals on the back which then turn the cycle on. But I still didn't see a code, so I turned it over to try and see if there was something I missed and then that piece with the copper dimpled pads I described earlier fell out along with this other small dull chrome grommet thingy, and then finally I spotted a 4 digit number under there which was 2 letters followed by 2 numbers. I tried to call my dealership back today to find out if that's even the correct code but it seems all the dealerships In my area are closed on Monday's for some strange reason, I don't know maybe that's a normal thing for motorcycle dealerships!? So I've been scouring the internet for answers but this post is the best I've been able to find, and I seem to have more information than anyone has been able to leave so far, so I'm sharing what I know. But tomorrow (5/17/11) I'm going to call my dealership and I'll be able to tell you if this code is the right one and whether I'm able to work everything out or not, I'll post what I find out tomorrow.

How do you replace a Yamaha motorcycle key?

When you purchased your Yamaha Motorcycle, you should have received a tag attached to the key with a key code on it. Providing that key code and your vin number to a dealer will allow them to order a replacement key based on those values. If you don't have a key code, you'll have to order key blanks and have them carved identically to your existing key by a local lock smith.

How do you replace a lost key for 1981 Yamaha virago?

You have at least three options: 1. Have a locksmith use a feeler and essentially make you a new key on the spot. This will usually cost around $50 or more. You can then take this newly fashioned key to a key cutter and have it duplicated onto a purchased Yamaha key blank. 2. Purchase a key set from your local Yamaha dealership. This will usually include a new ignition and you must show proof of ownership before ordering. You may also be given the option to purchase an entire key set which will include a helmet lock (if your bike came with one), gas cap (if there was a lock on it), and a new ignition. 3. This is the least expensive, but the most inconvenient option: The key code is printed on the ignition switch, but you'll need to remove the headlamp so that you can remove the ignition switch to see the code (I think that I also needed to disconnect the bracket for the speedometer and tachometer). In my case, I needed to remove a fairing before I could remove the headlamp. Fitting all of the wiring neatly back into the headlamp enclosure is a chore that requires some care and patience. But, you'll have a key code that you can provide to your key cutter or dealership, and they can inexpensively cut a brand new key without ever seeing the bike.

How do you get the codes from a 1999 Chrysler LHS?

turn the ignition key on and off 2 or 3 times - turn key all the way on - wait for the odometer reading, then turn it off then turn it on to the odometer reading registers, then turn it off then do it again and you should get the code -- if u get a P 700 code that is a general transmission code and you will probably need autozone to get you the actual code


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
