Replacement Keys

[beermaker]

Hi all, been away for a while having a family and stuff but back again! Not sure where to ask this so thought General Topics might be my best bet! Had a bit of a crash a year or two ago on my ZXR and in my infinate wisdom I took the keys out of the ignition in case some one nicked it whilst I went to get a lowloader and a winch (the bike was 20 feet down a bank in some trees - chances of being nicked less than zero!) and as you can guess I lost the bloody key! Don't have a spare and I don't want to sell a kidney to get a new ignition barrel with key, new fuel filler cap with key and new seat lock with key and then also have to carry three keys about! Does anyone know how I can get a new key sorted to fit all three existing locks or do I have to resourt to breaking the locks and using a screwdriver?

Cheers
Philip

do you have an ownersmanual or service book? sometimes the key number is written in there, failing that try contacting a dealer with your engine/chassis number not sure if they have the details that can match it to the key?

cheers for the info; haven't got any of the manuals but can try using the frame/engine number or see if there's a number on the lock barrel. Failing that apparently an automotive locksmith can gauge the locks and grind a replacement key from the measurements so may try that )
