Answer is yes, but can also go to any locksmith and get a new coded key also. There is also the choice to get non-coded keys for your side boxes to protect your coded keys from breaking-twisting. A shorter one is also possible for side boxes.
About $130 for a coded key.Be aware the ECU will only accept 4 coded keys.
Thanks for everyones help, i have swaped the electroncs between the keys and all appears well in the universe. Have ordered a new spare key and will have it cut and coded along with the suggestion to have normal key done for the panniers etc.Regards fossil178
Try this if you like?I asked a locksmith (does work for a large bike shop in Sydney's south) at a job yesterday and he said this would work, so here it is:-It will cost about $6.00 - $10.00 pending on Locksmith.The key is that long just for the ignition only (so you can push down and lock the steering). Excluding transponder stuff.The remaining locks do not require the longer shaft, (keep it clean) or the transponder stuff.So, ask the locksmith to cut a blank "Silca", model YH29 for the double sided teeth only of your original key.This will make the key approx. half the size of the original, and minimise the "torque" placed on the key shaft when opening compartments etc. So, at the end you will have a key for the ignition and a separate key for the remaining locks.Hope this helps.CheersDave
