V-Strom DL650 WEE Replacement Key?

Question

Replacement key!? Bought a used 2015 wee. Had one ignition key. Attempted 3 times to have a copy key made with no success. Would pop the seat but not start bike. Ideas? Or where to buy replacement factory leys?

    If you have the little tag that came with it then you should be able to go to the dealer. Vin might work also. A true locksmith can do it but will have to do it by hand. I have had a couple made for my bike.

    I had the same issue. The shoulders of the key need to be cut back a bit more so that the key will fully engage the ignition.

    I was told when I took delivery of my new Wee that ONLY Suzuki dealer can get new key, AND you have to quote the key code # which is given with the bike from new.

    Does it turn in the ignition barrel? If yes the key is working fine. All the key does is turn a switch. If it cranks but doesn’t start on the new key but it does on the old key you definitely have an immobiliser fitted. Look into how to code a new key.

    Is there a red led above the ignition barrel ?

    I’m just curious, you bought a bike that you couldn’t start and test ride?

    Had a same but different issue. Son lost the only key. Brought the bike to a locksmith who was able to make a new key right from the ignition. the gas cap and seat use the same key but fewer of the notches matter. this was for a K05.

    You can use key x241 but file sides down

    That’s what you need. I had made 3 keys for 2 2012 and 1 2014 wee. Bought the blank from eBay, ACE used to cut customer blank, not anymore-corporate policy. Just go to local locksmith they will do it for a dollar, than use file or grinder and cut the sides of the head until the key inserts fully in to ignition

    You’ll have to get it from a Suzuki dealer. I went through that with my 2012

    Must be something with the newer bikes. I bought blanks for my ’07 & ’08 off Amazon for like $5-6/ea.

    Blank part number is SUZ18, $4 on eBay. Works ok with 2012 and 2014 Wee.
