    Ordering a key from Suzuki

    Anyone ever done this? I have always heard that if you have the number you can get one made through Suzuki..

    If you have the number you can have one made by your local locksmith. The blanks are cheaper too unless you want the plastic part of the key. I had one made for 12 bucks.

      Its actually for the gas cap that was replaced and the key is lost. They (locksmith) just need the number?

        Yup. They just look it up on the computer and make a key. Probably cheaper in the states than here. Suzuki wants $16.95 for a blank and the locksmith had them for $2.50 for a plain metal one. The rest of the charge is for making it from a computer. If for some reason your guy can't do it. PM me the number and I'll get it done and stick it in an envelope to you.

                  If you already have a key, go to your local Ace Hardware store. If they do not have blanks in stock they will order them for you. They do not charge much for cutting them either; much cheaper than a locksmith. I bought a bunch for both my GS and Kaw bikes (I had 2 at the time) for not much money.

                    Bingo. Almost any hardware store can duplicate a key for next to nothing.

                              You know, my Ace Hardware, the one that so kindly ordered all my keys, told me that they are independents. I guess your owner decided that his store would not perform such a simple task. Mine was more than willing. But he was unwilling to call another Ace store for a bolt I needed when he was out of stock, telling me they were competitors. Hmm.
