broken key
I know I don't have an SV any more, so mod's please move this elsewhere if need be. but my I bent my key in my 2004 cbr600rr's fuel tank whilst filling up.... and I've been quoted what I consider to be a ridiculous amount by my local 'stealer' it has Honda's HISS system so they say even if I get a key cut somewhere else it still won't work because of the programming or something or other. is this correct? is there anyway around this?
thanks for any help and advice.

Re: broken key
yes the new key needs programmed. this can sometimes be done via the ignition but usually requires a machine. sometimes there are removable transponder chips on the key fob.

Re: broken key
I had similar with getting a Spare car key cut.Luckily my MOT guy knew a small local non dealer garage that made one for £60 compared with over £150 elsewhere.
Ring some local small independent bike garages/shops and see if they know anything. HTH

Re: broken key
If the chip isnt transferrable you could fix the old key (minus the metal bit of course) somewhere hidden on the bike and, assuming its a standard type, just get a new key cut. You would lose the security afforded by the transponder but, if you get several cut, need never worry about the problems of losing the key......

Re: broken key
Or just put the remains of the old key on the ring with the new key?

Re: broken key
Dealer is wrong.
All you need to do is get the right key blank, get it cut and transfer the transponder. Total cost probably under £15. I really get cheesed off with dealerso knowingly(more than probable) trying to fleece folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk21gcxxcCs Don't forget to glue the cover after transfering(as mentioned in vid) transponder. |

I have also just tried this technique of removing said chip from the key and the "chip" itself has broken a little bit. do you know if this will affect it's then being put into a bank key?
