SuzukiSavage.com - Misplaced keys

spiknoff Ex Member	Misplaced keys 07/01/07 at 17:38:13 I just recently purchased a 98 Savage and I stupidly misplaced the keys. Any suggestions on how to get a set made without having to replace all the parts that use keys? Thanks in advance

If there is, you can order keys online. http://www.motorcyclekeys.com/ Or take the code to the dealer.

Bummer. Lousy time of year to be hunting keys. If you dont have a special place for keys, well,, need I say more? Actually, I leave the key in mine at home, in the garage. Most of the time anyway. If there are people around I dont trust to stay off of it I dont. Certain age boys just make me cautious. As a former boy, it just seems prudent to distrust them.

I've got 2 extra full sets of keys for mine, when we 'scoot' togeher on road trips we keep the other riders extra keys with us in case one gets lost, or if an accident happened they could either get the items from the bags and secure the bike or help move the bike if the jeys in the bike left or were damaged in the accident. Brother and his wife started that after one of them temporarily lost a set. Keeps things on schedule and issues down. Max

oh yeah, well....I have the spare key for my bike implanted just below the surface of my skin, that way if I lose the regular one I can just CUT THE SPARE OUT.

Eh? How's that for smarts?

Brilliant.

I have just one key left for my ig-switch, so my permanent solution is to rewire the bike and leave out the ig-switch and in its' place install a toggle switch.
ON or OFF ...all I need is my finger to flip the switch and then hit the starter button. I may hide the toggle or maybe just leave it right up front. Or maybe use 2 toggles, one hidden and one up front. That would really confuse them. Grin

If someone tried to steal it they may spend all of their time looking for the "keyed" ig-switch.
