Keys

Holy crap!

I just went through the effort of trying to get a spare set of keys cut for my bike.
The Suzuki dealerships here do not cut keys for Suzukis. They will order a blank in, but you have to take it to a locksmith to have it cut. They'll cut Hondas, Yamahas, etc

The locksmiths WILL cut keys, even without the Suzuki blanks, BUT warn that should I ever lose the little black plastic tag that came with the bike, I'd be hard pressed to get new keys for the bike without replacing the ignition.

Do what I did and put an HD flip top switch on your bike. NO MORE KEYS!!!

 

[.:M3lly:.]

Don't you still need the key to lock and unlock the ignition Vin??

Yes but it is one of those round keys with a tab. Have not used it yet but I probably should.

I think I'd find a better locksmith. I've never seen a locksmith have trouble making a set of keys to fit an ignition on a Suzuki, even without the tag or another set of keys to go by. The good locksmith I use at the school made me a set for a used Suzuki I bought that had no keys in about 5 minutes, and even the moron mobile locksmith who barely spoke English and obviously very new to locksmithing took only 30 minutes to make a set for my Intruder when I lost them at a bar at 2 AM.

Just checking... I wouldn't want anyone to ride off on the precious

According to the "stealer" it's a Suzuki security thing, similar to the issues with replacing Harley keys.

I got an extra key made at Ace Hardware.

I would like to hear the story about losing your keys at 2 AM at the bar.

I was thinking about getting another nice Boulevard key cut until I saw how much they want for those blanks.... $35!!! That is crazy. I can live with the generic backup key.

 

[Chuckwalla]

$35 for a key!!!!!!!!!! Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!! I got an extra with my RT, but it is a round one...Guess it'll have to work....

[Rotties for life!]

Yeah, the spares I had cut today were $3 each, don't think the Boulevard logo is worth an extra $32

You can buy the Suzuki C50 key blank in single or pair on E-bay.
Under motorcycle parts, Asian, search for Suzuki C50.

There are locksmiths that carry motorcycle keys. The dealer sent me to one in Joplin (wasn't even a big place) and they cut me a new key for about $4.00. Even my local hardware store ordered some motorcycle keys after they couldn't help me.

I need help! My son is only 3 and found the motorcycle key and is nowhere to be found. I have a 2006 Boulevard C50T and need to know how to get keys made. I really dont feel like having a new ignition nor want to pay the price for one. I had a rebel that I was told to remove the ignition and take it to a locksmith and they could cut the keys. Does anyone know if I have to do that with the C50? Any ideas would be great.

stealership that sale was originally done MIGHT be able to help...but more likely you'll be looking at having a lock smith pull the cylinders and replace.
