They don't give you a spare on a new ATV like that?

When I bought my Can-Am that was one of the first things the dealership had to include as part of the deal. A spare key. One guy in our group left his in the ignition and it fell out somewhere between home and where we were riding which was about a 2 hour trip. Can-Am keys cost $60+ to get a copy made. Not sure how to bypass the security system.

On a 2012 I would price a new key. You do not want to go in slicing wires and get it wrong.

A coded key sounds great until you're the one who can't start it. Just go to the dealer and buy another one. Probably have to bring some proof that its your atv if they don't recognize you, might have to do it even if they do. Dealers are going to be very suspicious of anyone wanting a replacement key.

If I remember correctly, you have to bring the quad in so they can code the key to the quad.
