Key types by year
Which Motorcycle key do you have?
| Model years | Key type | What that means for replacement |
|---|---|---|
| Most bikes, all years | Plain metal key | Cut from the ignition cylinder by decoding or impressioning when no key exists. Gas cap and seat locks are usually keyed alike and get copies at the same time. |
| Honda 2001 onward, many models | HISS immobilizer transponder key | A chip in the key must match the ECU. Duplicates need a working key; all-keys-lost is a specialist job we plan for on the phone. |
| Harley-Davidson 2003 onward | Key plus Smart Security System fob | The fob arms and disarms the bike; a lost fob can be bypassed with the owner's PIN and replaced. The metal key is cut from the ignition. |
| Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ducati, BMW with immobilizers | Coded key or proximity fob | Varies by model; some are locksmith-programmable, some need the manufacturer. We tell you which before you book. |
How Motorcycle key programming works
For a plain key the work is mechanical: the technician decodes the ignition and cuts a key that also turns the gas cap and seat lock. For immobilizer bikes we program the chip to the ECU where the manufacturer allows it, or handle the mechanical key and advise on the fob. Harley owners should have their five-digit security PIN handy; it lets the bike start without the fob and speeds a fob replacement.
Things to know before you call about a Motorcycle
- Harley fobs are convenient until the battery dies at a gas station; know your PIN so the bike starts without it, and call us for the fob rather than towing.
- Aftermarket ignition cylinders on custom bikes often use unusual keyways; tell the dispatcher what is stamped on the key or cylinder so we bring the right blanks.
Pricing for Motorcycle keys
A plain motorcycle key cut from the ignition is inexpensive. Immobilizer keys and Harley fobs cost more because of the electronics. Every job is quoted flat once we know the make and model.
