Coding replacement key - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

luv2ride · 07-03-2009, 03:05 AM

I currently only have 1 key. I want to get a replacement key (spare) made but do not have a "red key". My local dealer told me I have to replace the ECU an ignition. Is this true and what are my options?

Please help!!

Bugga. I'm afraid the dealer is right. I was told when I bought my bike, don't ever lose the red key, or you'll need to replace the lot if I lose my keys.

Sorry dude.

Not sure what other options you have ,but it is true,you must have the red key to recode a new black one otherwise you have to change the ECU and the immobiliser .
They warned me about it too and said you would be looking at around $1800 !

Didn't you get one with the bike ?

Good news,I just did a quick google and found that you can in fact get new transponder key cut,least here in Oz.Here is the link to the guy here Transponder Keys You may be able to find one over there with a bit of luck

Dealers are supposed to have tools to code the special keys.
If not, that's a very terrible design flaw.

It should cost you $100~ to get them made. Cheaper than replacing everything.

The red key is coded to the bike(ecu and immobiliser)lose it and you are up for a lot more than $100.

on the 07 we got it with one key (the one in the ignition) i went to the dealer and ordered a few blanks and had a local guy cut it for me and everything works just fine.. i guess the older ones have some extra stuff??

You guys also live in the states. The guys across the pond have a few more features than we do. You should see the size of their keys too.
