Key cloning?

[skatefreak]

Afternoon all.
Bought an 2024 R7 for a really good price, too good it seems.
My last bike was a 1999 R1 and I wasnt overly concerned this bike came with one key.
I always planned to get some spares and tracked down the dealership that originally sold it. It turns out they will only sell a new ECU/Barrel/other bits for several thousand £££.

Sooo, reading about, I've read key cloning is possible however Motomatrix appears to be a scam and I can't find much else.

Is it actually a thing on modern bikes or am I sh*t out of luck?

Timpsons was gonna do one for my Honda before the dealer found the spare and sent it to me. About £80 as i recall but was a while back.

Timpsons will do that for you as will pretty much any other local automotive key cutting place.

I assume it didn't come with the red key?

not sure if this helps but .. this is where the bikeshops on westgate rd. did get their keys cut https://www.nlssecurity.co.uk/

Well,
the good news its just a regular bladed key that can be cloned at Timpsons, job jobbed.
The confusion was everyone else I spoke to assumed it was keyless which is where it gets expensive/complicated.

So from what I've been told, if it's a physical key then it should be fine

Thanks for the input, apologies about my flappy panic!

I've had the cloning done few times by Timpsons. Best to take the bike there in case they need to scan the immobiliser signal. They did for my Honda VFR1200 (HISS).
