call your local suzuki dealer, i am sure using the vin and barrel should be able to get a key out of suzuki with will work(will take week or so to get it out suzuki at least i would think)
Or other opinion is just get a new barrel/key from wreakers
Or there are people who can with the barrel can make keys so it will work, but that takes a bit of time

try city lock smoths in newmarket they have computor system they have cut keys for us from the barrel code (in car mind you ) but worth a shot or take of helmet lock if it has one and its the same should be able to cut key from that.

I cannot too highly recommend Armstrongs in Otahuhu.
Unimpeachable expertise, superb customer service, and very reasonable rates.
Ring them and explain the problem, they will sort you out.

Call the local Locksmith.
Then bend over and brace yourself.:buggerd:
Could cost $$$$ if you dont have the key number.

and if that doesn't work. Dance a rain dance for a solid ten minutes, and then wait for it to fall out of the sky and into your hand. Trust me the way these things work is you'll only find the originals once you've either jammed a screwdriver in the ignition or put replacement barrels in. Happened to me.

i stoped in the local suzuki dealer and while there i asked him
If it was an nz new rf400, go in with your vin number, and if the dealer was any good he would have record the key code on the form he would have returned to suzuki.
And if they did that they, suzuki can get a new key made to match that code, with out taking the barrel out of key,

Good Avise all round mate eh.
I lost the only key to my number bike my Gorgeous Vespa a couple of weeks ago.
Took the barrel from it and took it to the locksmith dude, who took it out the back and came back with a new key cut to match the barrel......all very interesting.......:sherlock:
Then 2 days later, was on my way to the gym and shook my tracksuit trousers and there within was my vespa key.:scratch:
I now have the original and 3 spares.:spudbooge
I was thinking about getting one cut a few weeks back, and now as if by magic I don't have to Doh:niceone:

When you do go to get a spare cut, get 2. I always have 2, one for at home and I always have the other spare in one of the small pockets in my jacket just in case I'm away from home when I lose my key wallet.

You can take the top clamp with ignition barrel to a good locksmith and it should have a code they can put into the computer and it will spit out the appropriate key. Expect to pay about $20. If the steering lock is on you will pretty much have to remove the forks to get the top clamp off. If the steering lock is not on it should be easy to remove the top clamp.
