Ignition key cutting

[QMAO]

Long story short, but I lost an only ignition key for my street bike.
I have been digging around and I have found out that I can not get a key cut from a code or the VIN.

I have heard that some locksmiths can cut a key from measuring the lock (tumblers) it self. Is this possible?

Does anyone know of a highly skilled locksmith that might be able to do this?

any help is appreciated....Thanks

We also lost quad key and had this guy make us a key the old fashion way, cost us 50 bucks for it. If you want I can dig up his number, but might need ignition to do it. Let me know.

I would be able to remove helmut lock or a lock from the fairing to take to a locksmith

if im not mistaken, you will need to take your igniton off the bike in order to have a new key made. The helmet lock or fuel tank lock doesn't utilize all the cuts made on the key to operate. For an example your igniton cylinder might contain 5 tumblers where as the other locks would only have 3or 4. I had a new key made for mine last year and the locksmith told me about that. Also you will need to bring proof of ownership and id for them to cut the new key. hope this helps

i have the same problem, lost my only key to my GSXR 750. Its important you dont have an immobilizer on your bike if you just want a key cut. Looks like im hauling my bike to edmonton to All Lock Rescue. They said they can fix me up.
