What are you guys doing for replacement keys? Is there a generic key blank available at one of the big box stores that they can cut for me

I just went to a Home Depot and they cut 2 keys for me with no issue. The S10 key isn't anything special.
Now, my Ninja 650 needed a custom cut key since the damned thing was ~1/2 in. longer than the largest key and big box store had.

Some have reported success at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. I didn't have any luck there, but I went to a regular locksmith who had the blanks to cut the key.camardelle said:
My suggestion would be call wherever you plan to get your key copied beforehand and check their inventory. You're looking for ILCO blanks with the number X248 YM63.

I was surprised they had them at my local ACE store. Stronger metal than the stock one. Works perfect and I use it for my boxes.

I ordered a blank from Amazon and Home Depot cut it for free. The amazon blank looks nicer than it is, I dont think its actually any stronger than the stock key but at least I have a spare now.

By chance I had a short key made that I use for the seat and luggage. It does not start Tenere.

I was under the impression, that the ST has som kind of electronically immobilizer (don't know the proper word in english) in the key? I got a red key with my ST and was told to never ever loose that key -since it has to be used to program new keys with.
Am I missing the point or is the immobilizer a European thing?

I can't speak for the newer bikes but my 2013 doesn't have anything like that in the U.S. Just a normal key.Kox said:
