Title: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by runwyrlph on 09/24/14 at 16:21:57 So I took apart the ig switch (1 allen bolt, 2 philips screws) took out the innards and taped it together in the "on" position ... Headlight was on, neutral light on, still wouldn't start! Then I remembered - you have to pull the clutch in!! 8-) I made it home on reserve, fortunately, since I couldn't get the gas cap off |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by stewmills on 09/24/14 at 21:13:44 nice move. sure beat walking or losing some pride having to make that phone call. ;D ;D on my truck i have a spare taped under the rear on a wire harness. you couldn't find it if i told you where to look...hence it's not in an obvious hide.a.key box. which reminds me, i need to hide one on my bike :o my dad used to keep a key taped inside a blinker cover that could be opened with a phillips screwdriver. i need to see if the savage has a similar spot. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by Todd James on 09/25/14 at 04:58:30 I keep my spare key in the rubber fuse holder. It's up under the right side of the seat. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by SavageCat on 09/25/14 at 05:43:20 Get yourself a small neodymium rare earth magnet from Radio Shack (where I got mine like 15 years ago)...tape or glue that bad boy to your key. Then stick to the frame somewhere hidden. I haven't lost a key since owning the bike....but I just leave it hidden on the bike and thats my only key :D. So far no one has figured it out...so far... I have thought about ways to make the Savage keyless tho...hidden switch, and then fire it up...but theres the gas tank...hmmm... |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by Arnold on 09/25/14 at 06:04:47 Never understood the point of a key on a bike, an anti theft device yea but anyone could push a bike into a truck or van. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by runwyrlph on 09/25/14 at 06:24:46 yeah, I was pondering getting rid of the key- seems pretty simple to wire in a toggle switch in a fairly obscure spot. A little more difficult to get into the gas tank without the key - fortunately I had a spare at home - buy if I lose that one I'm in trouble! better just get another spare made |

One of the great things about this bike is its simplicity. So you can actually do things like that. I was working on my wife's Odyssey minivan a week or so ago ... so complicated!, there are about 1 million sensors that send info to the computer which then makes prudent adjustments to the fuel injectors or spark timing or whatever... Good luck trying to diagnose or fix a problem! In can guarantee that I could never get that van started without a key if I had a week to work it out! Edit: checked at the hardware store next to work - didn't have any blanks, but said if I get a blank he'll cut it for $0 - looks like I can get a blank for $3.99 on ebay - I think that's the way to go instead of trying to un-key the bike! |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by runwyrlph on 09/26/14 at 05:04:44 Thanks Mike, No I didn't see that. I always forget about the Marketplace! Funny thing - those blanks look like the mirror image of mine ? (i.e. slots are on the right, mine are on the left) I wonder if that's true, or if the pic got somehow reversed? |

You know what Ralph, they look the opposite of mine as well. Hmm. Like Dave said, I guess there are some different ones. A google search of ilco yh51 says they will fit the S40, so IDK. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by stewmills on 09/26/14 at 09:31:55 FYI - If you are looking for a fork-lock key blank (I don't think many people ever are), my local locksmith didn't have Suzuki blanks but did locate an ilco brand that fits perfect. Mine is key code SR61N. Your key may be different, but if they have this one they should have the other variations that you may need. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by 49mack on 09/30/14 at 04:44:07 I'm with Savage Cat. On all my vehicles I hide a spare key. Each has a ceramic magnet attached with JB weld. On the Savage, I keep it inside the tank behind the triple clamps. Clean the key and magent well before "gluing". Never lost one. |

Title: Re: Couldn't find my key after work... Post by stewmills on 09/30/14 at 06:20:31 Since the rear brake light cover can be removed with just two phillips screws, I stuck my spare inside towards the bottom rear of the housing with double-sided sticky-tape and you'd never know it's there even when staring at it (when the cover is on of course). Yes, I have more than one phillips screwdriver on my bike if needed. ;) And no...I am not telling any of you my address so you can some play tricks on me now that you know my secret. :P :P |

[/quote] I just had a spare key made for my '06. The locksmith used an ilco X118 blank. He looked at the YH51 and said it wouldn't work. I think it probably makes a difference what year a particular bike is. |
