one of the guys I ride with can not find his keys to his 400ex










(not too smart) ...whats the easiest ,cheapest







(he has little money currently) way to replace them? will a dealer be able to make eys for it? or does he have to get a new ignition?? thanx guys we appreciate it.

 

every quad ive ever owned i re-wired so there isnt any damn keys, i hate them. but if you live in a city or something like that were someone could steal it, maybe just go to a dealer and ask them, but i'd re wire it, its very simple if you know anything about electronics.

 

disconnect the key (two joining links under the handlebar plastic thing)

done that on my 250x

but that is not electic start......try it

 

If he purchased it new the dealer should know the key number from his records. I have written mine down just in case I have lost them. I also don't keep my keys together. I wouldn't think the keys would be that much, but I could be wrong. Chet

 

tell him to take it to the dealer and if they have his revords they could give him a new one for like 30 bucks my guess. and didnt he get 2 keys i did DUHHHH you dont keep em together you keep em seperate and put the other in your car or something come on thats just dummmmm!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

yeah my dealer told me any decent dealer should be able to cut some new keyes for you but i don't know how much it would cost. i don't think it would be very much though.

 

THANX GUYS .........I SHOWED HIM THE THREAD.HE LEFT TO GO REWIRE FOR NOW BUT HE DOES WANT TO NEW KEYS ,YES KEY(S) HE CAN NOT EITHER ONE OF ORIGINALS.

(S) INDICATES MORE THAN ONE.....FOR YOU ...YEL400EXMAN

He will need proof of ownership and the VIN (serial number of the quad) in order for a dealer to cut a new set of keys. Just about any dealer should be able to do it, however the price is usually outrageous.

 

(sigh)

Man the clumsy people that we have in the world today...

Nah, just go to the dealer, they'll handel it!

 

Im an electrician so my first guess is theres 2 wires under your key mount. Just tie them together w/wirenut and tape it up! then if u have 2 keys keep one in your pocket so if ur out ridin and lose one u got a spare/....good luck
