    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is this it?

It is three digits...only ones I can find, so I'm thinking that's it.
 
It should be. I also think they put the key on the back of the helmet lock as well. Why did you blank out the key number for the photo? I was going to take the E for a midnight spin at the next rally after I got "loose". :p Is there a followup tutorial in the works. ;)

No helmet lock...

Well I could just leave my custom ignition switch on it...that way anyone could ride it if they need to...:D

Just FYI if anyone is interested...I ordered a couple of keys from this guy...

http://www.motorcyclekeys.com/

He was recommended on a Ninja250 forum I belong to.

Emailed him my key number and bike info last night...
2 cut keys shipped for $30...

Got an email this morning that they will be in the mail today...

Good service right there.

If they work.
Why did you mark out the number? I wanted to ride your bike.
 
Once you get a key, Ace Hardware will order any blank you need for a very small charge. $2.00 or less, if memory serves me correct, including cut to your factory key.

Thanks...I actually have an uncut blank in my new parts stash.
As for my local Ace Hardware...they screwed up the last Suzuki key I had them cut.

But I need to see if this fresh key will unlock my stuck switch.
If it doesn't, I'll be shopping for a matched lock set for the bike.
