Default Lost keys for my bike!

I've looked everywhere and cant find em! I don't know what to do now, it's a 2000 Kawasaki KMX, I think the lock is fairly simple could a locksmith mould me a new key or would I have to swap the locks?

culd do both, or try a differant key, as any old key may work

lol, don't think that'll work as the key for the seat compartment wouldn't work to turn ignition on but it was exactly the same shape (but different teeth)

look harder, or bypass lock wiring under seat with a toggle switch (still secure with key seat and no outward signs.

Stop looking and give up, and then you'll find it.

You can tell the shape of the key from the code on the ignition barrel IIRC

there used to be a shop in edinburgh that could cut a key from the code on the barrel.

so it must be a common thing... also try ebay for a new one...

I dont suppose anyone knows what key I need? so I can pick up a blank and try and get one made up. Should I just call a regular locksmith?
