Hi as you can see from the title i have lost the key for my 1994 honda nsr 125, but i have an immobiliser which i can start the bike with and cut it out, the big problem is that i cant open the tank to put anymore petrol in. ive been told if you have the key code you can get a new key cut but i dont think i have it unless you can find it on the bike. can anyone recommend the cheapest solution to gettin a new key

cheers

If you go to Honda with the registration they will be able to get you a new master key.

I lost my key and even though I had the key code Honda told me they could'nt (would'nt more like) do anything about it Evil or Very Mad

So I had to get a lockset of ebay, and then pay £140 in labour and transportation charges to get it fitted.

(Yes not only did I loose my key but I had left the steering lock on so they had to take the whole front end appart to replace the locks Embarassed

I assuming it's an after-market immobiliser from your post.

If it is then all you need to do (assuming you don't have the steering lock on) is remove the ignition barrel and find the barrel number that will be stamped on it somewhere.

A good locksmith should be able to make up a key based on this number. PM me for the number of one that'll cut it and post it for £11.50.

If you need it quickly, there are some that will come to you and make the key - expect to pay around £70; I'd go with the £11.50 option if you can Smile

Hi,

Did exactly the same thing myself about a month or so ago.

Had left the steering lock on also, after ringing about 20 or so locksmiths found only one guy that was willing to come out and sort it.

The first night he got there at 6pm and called it a day at about 10.20pm, came back the next day and finally managed to cut a key to fit the lock (without knowing the key code) in about an hour. He was contemplating taking the whole front end off to replace the barrel etc, but said it would have taken him a few hours and woulda most likely cost me £300-400, so I was god damn lucky he was able to do it just by cutting it to the lock.

All in all cost me £150, needless to say I've got 4 copies of the key now and I wont be making that mistake again.

Feckin locksmiths must be bloody raking it in.

Generally cheaper if you can, say, get the top yolk with ignition barrel off and take it to them.

An NSR lock won't be all that complicated, and probably quite worn inside. With a bit of jiggling a similar key wold most likely open your tank cap to get you out of trouble temporaily.
