Its not a biggy at all.

Just give them a call and they should be able to help.
It needs a special tool to plug into your bike to code it in.

Morcs you've only had the bike 5 mins, you lost a key already?

No, but lost the keys for the TL about 3 week ago. Didnt enjoy the entire day hunting, and then pulling the barrell out and going round various locksmiths...

so as a preventive measure, getting a 2nd key made

Just dont do an oil change. That way you'll not lose your keys again

bit of dredging, but oh well

It completely depends on the model of bike, how the manufacturer goes about setting up the security.

On the basic level, my zx7r. Take original key to any locksmith, he cuts another from a standard blank key. No immobiliser built in at all.

Next level up, my 04 zx10r. Order a blank Kawasaki key from the dealer, then take that to a keycutter who duplicates the original. Not sure why

HISS and other full immobilisers. They vary a little on rules, but basic thing is ECU knows about its keys. It has to be programmed when another key is added (addition depends on manufacturer, with some, you can add a key yourself, others, the dealer has to). You also have to get a key from manufacturer. Here it varies again. Some systems, you have a limit of keys, sometimes 2, maybe 4, maybe no limit, but perhaps a concurrent limit on ecu. How they store extra keys varies. Sometimes the dealer keeps a key, but generally, the bike has specific keys for it, different to the next one in the production line. Usually you need a specific code to order keys.

At some point, if you love losing keys, it will probably be game over, and time for a new ecu, lock set etc.

Try not losing your keys

Only if they have the right cable. Pretty much each bike needs a different cable to enable the ECU to be programmed. You could look for the info yourself, and save some time, effort, hassle and disappointment.
