Hi there, I lost my key a couple of days ago & now I'm looking to make a copy of my spare so I have a couple of questions;
Firstly is the key "chipped"? I'm asking because my spare has a tag with a number on it & I was told when I bought the bike in 2015 that if I wanted to make a copy I would need the tag to do so!
Secondly where can I get a blank? I have looked everywhere online with no results, eBay sell blanks that the top looks nothing like my key but the metal (key) part looks pretty much the same, however when I go into the key's description it has a bike compatibility search & it says that it will not work on the 2014 DL650! Amazon comes up with nothing.
When I search the parts outlets like cheapcycleparts.com or metric parts outlet, they don't sell keys.
I've read elsewhere on this forum that an Ilco X276 SUZ16 key blank or SUZ18 will do the trick, if you file the "head" of the key down, is this correct or not especially if it is a "chipped" key.
