Lost key
 

I have lost my key & need to hotwire the bike, anyone know which wires need to be connected? I have it turning over but wont start. HELP!
I will be back on forum later to check on any answers, thanks.

Just have the dealer cut you a new key. My '07 came with 2 keys and I have 1 stashed for just such an emergency. Where's your second key? I believe the grey wire is an anti-hotwire device and needs to be disconnected. If you connect the other 2(red/black?), does the headlamp come on along with the neutral indicator? If so it should start.

It's a triple throw double pole switch (or double throw, triple pole, I can never remember the correct terminology, it's always the opposite of what I think it should be). At one point, I made an adapter an eliminated my key in preference for a simple toggle switch. Here is the connector map, which should provide the information you need:

So to "hot wire" for "key on", connect white and brown together, red and red&white together, and disconnect black&yellow and black&white. However, if I recall, black&yellow and black&white always have a 100 Ohm resistor connecting them.

I did this with a single toggle switch that was able to make all those connections at once when it was "on". Worked great.

That sucks man. When I bought my bike, on the way home I had 2 more keys made at the key shop. When I brought the wife's bike home I did the same thing. I carry a spare key to our 2002 Camry in my wallet, and I have a combination lock box on the Dodge truck. I guess I just refuse to be stuck somewhere locked out or with out extra keys. Food for thought. ;)

Would really suck if you lost your key out in the bush and had to beat your ignition open with a rock.

I do the same thing with a key in my wallet for the car, but as for the bike I only use one key and the other only stays inside in case I would ever lose the other.

Way to go Watts'y. I don't think that the beating it worked out to well either.

The previous owner gave me one key and said he'd look for the other, but couldn't locate it.

I am going to get a couple spares cut. I was thinking of finding some Kawasaki key blanks for them to work with instead of the generic stuff.

Thanks NB,now thieves can steal our bikes and ride em home.hahahahahaha

actually great info if I ever have IGnition problems
