    1998 V-max gas cap key not turning sometimes

    New to me V-max, just getting started. Key doesn't turn in the gas cap sometimes. First time it happened I hit it with silicone spray and thought I had fixed it. Then it happened again. Seems like something is catching at 12:00 near the top of the keyhole. Maybe the first tumbler catches...

    Stupid Newbie Tricks pt 2 - broke my only key

    So today I go to clean out my garage and pull the max out. I unlock the steering...but leave the key in the lock. (doh!) As a result, when I pulled my key out, it was bent like a banana. I went to try to gently bend it back into shape and snap...broke it in half. NO, I don't have a spare (if...

    Max starts when key is turned

    I dug back in the archives and found a post about this. The remedy was to replace the starter relay. I did that and all was well for a few long rides. Tonight I went to "Bike night" at a local tav and when I pulled in my oil light went on as soon as I stopped to back in. This is what happens...

    Key replacement

    I have lost my only key for my 1997 vmax. I have heard there is a code possibly on the ignition switch that you can use to order a replacement key? If so can you tell me where it is located? Yes I know I should have had a spare made. Procrastination. Thank you Jim

    Who is missing the special key and case for their 2009?

    Long story short I had a 2009 Vmax and sold it to a dealer who sold it to someone else sometime in 2011 or 2012. Today, while cleaning out my desk I found the key. If this is your key I'll be happy to send it to you, but first we're going to have to figure out a way to be sure it's yours...

    Replacement Key

    I need a new key for my 97 V-Max. I went down to the dealer to order one but they could not find one or even a part number. My key has the cut numbers on it but it seems I have no way to order it. Does anyone know how to get a blank or new key? Its the older short key style. Thanks

    Key blanks - where to buy?

    I went to the Yamaha dealership to get some spare keys made before I loose my only key and the parts man spent quite awhile looking up stuff on the parts computer, then said he had to get on his personal computer for his cheat sheet of keys... And the end of all of that he said he can't get one...

    key replacement

    Not a bike post, but this might save you sometime. I had a poorly-functioning ignition lock cylinder on my Camry, or so I thought. The shop said, "let's try a new key from the dealer made from your VIN." It's not a 'chip' key. No RFID code in the key body. It cost $12. The new key worked...

    Super Cool Key chain

    It started as a mens bracelet. Wax cotton cord, with sterling silver beads. And a cool round coin, about 50% the size of a dime. I also used a mini skull. Also made of sterling silver. I believe both the bracelet and the skull are made by GOOD ART HOLLYWOOD. I found them both on...

I was going to take the cyl to a local locksmith that will make a new key after disassembly for $60, does anyone have info on what Yamaha (if Yamaha) charges to duplicate a key from the code?
