    Keys - what are my options?

    When i bought my bike a few years ago it came with one key for the ignition and a separate key for the tank and to open the pillion seat. I'm giving my bike a bit of a tidy up and i want to have one key open all tje locks. Should i go to a locksmith o? Cheers in advance

    Yeah, or else buy a new lock set.

    It sounds like the ignition has been changed at some stage- Remove the ignition lock and take it to a locksmith with one of each of the keys. I would expect it to cost between $50 and $100 dollars tops. It will cost a lot more if you don't take it off the bike for them.
    Ride it until the wheels fall off...

    Cheapest option is to get the 2 accessory locks keyed to the barrel. Without being over technical theres less bits inside the tank and helmet lock than the ignition.

    The other option is to go keyless. You can have a push button start.
