keys
I only have one key for my bike and almost lost it 3x in one day. Where can I get copies made? Does it have to be a Kawi dealer or can anywhere that makes keys make me a copy?

RE: keys
As far as I now - a copy of a key can be made anywhere that does it.
Unless the key has a computer chip in it. The key to my Firebird has a chip in it (some sort of anti-theft device), I have to get copies from the dealer (you don't even want to know the cost!!) Needless to say, I have never lost those keys!

Yeah, on another thread some guys said any local Lowes or Home Depot should have the right blank needed to make a copy for a few bucks. You can also get official kawi blanks from your dealer for about $10-15/ea if I remember right. You might pay more for a locksmith, but the old man at Lowes or Home Depot can cut it for you just as well.

I thought u bought your bike brand new???? If so it comes with 2 keys and a little tag with #'s on it. If u didnt buy it new then tell me f off and read up before i respond lol damn im in one of those moods lol
Locksmith will work, i wouldnt take it lowes or depot or any place like that. They have an average joe cutting keys that work half the time lol

I agree, but it cost about $2 in gas now a days to run back there for there mistake. I deal with a locksmith for all my keys and he is only like $.75 more than depot/lowes and his **** always works. I even make keys my self, but its a onesided machine, so i cant make nothing but deadbolt keys

Not sure what bike you have or what your key looks like, but for my 2000' ZX9 I bought some identical blanks on e-bay. I've seen these many times and just recently from multiple auctions. I got (2) for $8.00. I could have gotten them through RonAyers.com for $12.00 per key.
