Hi, I need to get a new key, my existing one is so worn that it is very fiddly to get the lock to work (any lock on the bike).
I have tried a blank cut duplicate but same problem, probably because the master key is so worn.
I took the lock off the fuel cap and found 3 characters stamped into the side of the barrel, the sort of stamping you get with a hand held punch (they aren't uniform)
the characters are <number> <letter> <letter> , that's all, e.g 1AB (thats not the actual characters !) This is somewhat at odds with the information I have read.
Do you think this is the reference I need to get a replacement from Honda ?
I did try my local dealer (Dubai) but they say that Honda Middle East won't supply factory cut keys only blanks. This means I need to try a US or European dealer and wanted to make sure I had the correct info.
I was going to post a picture but then thought better of it !
Thx Steve
