Key's missing

[U.P.dragracer]

I just got another GS1100 and it has no keys I was wondering if the number on the seat lock can be used to purchase a new set of keys 8-[

I know on a honda the key code number is located on the lock cylinder bottom under the top tripple tree

has anyone had to get new keys ? how would I go about this ? :shock:

I've heard here that is true. Never did it myself though.

Look under the ignition lock for a numerical code.
Take it to the Zuki shop or a Locksmith and have the keys made.
(I took my whole ignition to the locksmith for my 1980 GS1100EX)
It took them 10 mins or so to bring me back the ignition and new key..

As far as the seat lock, possibly-

I would think that if it was the original ignition, it would match the seat lock, Mike. My 82 1100EZ had a matched ign/seat lock.....

i was told from Roadhawk Cycle, where i acquired and ignition switch recently, that Suzuki bikes only have 8-10 different keys. i walked away with a GSX-R key, fitting a GS850's switch to install in my GS450E.
if you have a salvage shop nearby, they probably have a box full of keys and you can just try a few till one works.

No way, really? 8-10 different variants? That's dumb.

I just did yesterday, but for a Honda Nighthawk. The dealer took about 5 minutes to cut me a new key for a parts bike I bought. $20 including the blank, and it works fine.

Entirely unsure about a Suzuki, though (which was the original question...)

I've got about 12 different Suzuki keys. never had one that fit another suzuki
The lock should have a 3 or 4 digit number stamped below the key slot. My local dealer has a box filled with leftover keys. I've matched numbers out of his box for bikes I've bought that came with no keys
