hi guys, well, as per topic, i lost my motorbike keys. its a kawasaki gpx250 - yes im on my L's.

anyone know what would be the cheapest way to get my motorcycle running again! thanks

Pull your ignition out and bring it to a locksmith. Does it also have helmet lock on it as well? did it work off the same key?

Lol

I did the same on my old ZZR250!!!

There is a number on the face of the lock barrel, I think that it is a leter and four numbers.

I took the barrel out and took it in, to find out that this number is a key ID.....

Take the number to a good locksmith and see how you go before pulling it a part.

Try that, You might need proof of owner ship but.....

:(

thanks for the quick replies guys!

4admrn : I rang around and they are trying to charge me around $300!

KeyMaker: It has a helmet lock and a seat lock, all use the same key, any tips on pulling the ignition barrel out? Im a bit nervous, and dont want to screw anything up

seeyagtr: i looked for a number, all i could see was 238-M69 could this be the right number? or do i have to pull out the ignition barrel to find the number? also how much did it cost you to get another one?

thanks heaps guys, i really appreciate your help! i'm getting pissed of with catching the train to the city with all the other plebs every morning :thumbsup:

No that number you have isn't the one. You should be able to find it stamped on the side of the ignition housing, which involves taking the whole ignition housing and electrical switch off the bike, the electrical switch should be attached to it.

You may find the number on the side of the helmet lock body....maybe, maybe not. Taking the ignition assembly out should just be a matter of screws and bolts and taking off whatever shrouds you have to.

Find whatever numbers you can and pm them to me, I'll tell you if its the right one.

It should cost $30-$50 at the most to get a couple of keys cut from the number, thats if you go to them.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
