Title: lost Savage key
Post by mabs22 on 07/09/08 at 15:07:07

Howdie,
I bought my first house this fall and my Savage key must have fallen into one of the many boxes and got tossed out :(

I have only been riding for 3 years and haven't done any work on the bike (haven't needed to) It's a 2000 LS650 (bought used so I have no paper trail of the key code). Would I be crazy to try and replace the ignition lock by myself?

can't suzuki make you a replacement based on the VIN ? I'd try that first.

Take a look at the ig cylinder, somewhere there might be a key code. Mine starts with an "E" and is followed by 5 numbers.

Write down that number and take it to a locksmith that speciallizes in m/c's. there's one on line

Several dealers told me they cannot do it frona VIN number and ther is no key code stamped on my ignition that I can see. Is it in a an obvious place?

I just went thru this...., Easy fix.
Take your ignition off, mine only had one bolt. One electrical conection, take it to a reputable locksmith. 15 minutes, new key perfect fit and 35 dollars.

I will definitely try that! I have taken things apart and put them back together for fun so I'm hoping it really is that easy!! THANKS - that will be my weekend project. I'll let you know how it goes.
