Hey Guys,

 

Im wondering if anyone has had any experience with motorbike locks?

 

The one im working on is for a honda. Now i don't have much experience and made this clear to the guy but i said i would have a look. Basically the key they have wont start it, and the original one has been broken then lost. I was hoping some wd40 then graphite would work... after it failed I was hoping to remove the barrel and look at where the key inst matching the pins...

 

But i cant get the barrel out. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It needs to be turned to the off position then the core will remove. The steering lock pin should retract when in the correct position.

 

Don't ever use WD40 anywhere near a lock, it is made for water displacement and is shite as a lubricant.

 

Graphite powder is ok but if you use to much you can clog the lock up, penetrating and easing oil is good but

i use the kaba lock oil or Abus PS88 oil.

My picking skills go as far as a basic euro lock at the minute. Because this is double sided, its prob going to be a wee bit tougher, but i will give it a go :-k

 

If i cant crack it, how much would you charge? ( so i can tell the customer) I'm not wanting to make any money on this, just keen on learning.

 

Ps - i know some of the stuff im asking is probably basic, so thanks for taking the time to respond.

what is the Year, Make, Model, and Engine size

 

the key code is most likely stamped by the locking bolt pin sticking out, it will be a series of letters & numbers, the code is the last 3 which is a Letter and 2 digits, but will depend on year,make, model, engine size

 

that key looks like a Silca HON68RBP or HON68BP used on the Metropolitan & Ruckus ( Not Big Ruckus ) scooters over here,

 

or it could be the Silca HON63FP / Ilco X265, it is hard to tell...

there may be an Accureader for this keyway,

if it is a Metropolitan or Ruckus the key code is on the original key just below the head ( Letter + 2 digits )and is also stamped on the side of the gas cap to be seen after removal ( last 3 in series = Letter + 2 digits )
