While we're at it I'm after a place to get a 96 zx6r key cut too. No shop I've been to so far seem to have the right blank for it!

ya need the correct blankis for ya keys. probably a franchise dealer will cut keys for ya.

I was thinking the same thing but got home to late to ring them. Was in the cage stuck in traffic. The Duc dealer in ham might know some one.

Mitre 10 couldn't cut a key for my bike either, I guess they dont' have that much of a selection. But the local locksmith was able to read the number off the old key and cut a new one based on specifications from the factory rather than just copying the old worn out key. I thought that was pretty cool

I suggest just try phoning some locksmiths places and seeing if they can do it.

a) im supprised M10 down there did MB keys - as we dont in New Lynn
b) Auckland lock smiths are good, as is the guy that used to be 1/2 way down queen st (where is he now?)
c) If you have a blank for your bike and you need a copy done - im happy to do it for ya at M10 New Lynn, just go down to the paint counter and ask where stewart is on Saturdays. But as i mentioned earlier - we aint got the blanks, i usually get my from auckland locksmiths as that guy is really good an straight up.
will be workn this sat if anyone gets bored

Go to a proper Locksmith - you can just give them the serial number and they don't even need to key itself.

Thats what is required as they have the skills and know how. Plus if it does not work they will sort it out for free...

Does the ignition have to be on to pull start a Duc?

Does the Duc come with a Engine imboliser system like the Honda HISS? The keys have a magnetic code and the two have to match else the engine gets imobilised... basically I can't just get a lock smith to cut a key it won't work...

Costs about $300 odd buts to get a new key... (luckily I have a spare already)

just a thought thought...

Yes the ignition has to be on
No they dont need a fancy immobiliser key, well maybe the new ones do but not a 90s one.
I was lucky mine came with a spare so havn't had to consider it further.

My experiences with getting keys cut I wouldnt go back to Mitre 10, their machines seem alot less automated as far as copying the old key and dont seem to work as well as one from a proper locksmith.
