Emergency help please
Hi, I'm stranded,in a parking lot in Bradley, Il. I put my spare key that does not start the bike, it just opens the frunk and the seat and rear trunk and I turned it to the right at he seat opened but I cannot get the key to turn back or come out and the power is on. My cell is 708 2042668. Thanks, MIKEa

You probably have a faulty ignition switch. Check out this thread about my recent experience http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...key-won-t-turn
As long as the power stays on, you will be able to ride it home, but since the lights and accessories may still be powered when you stop riding you will need to get the battery onto a charger while you're messing around with trying to get the key back out.

If power is on but the bike won't start because your back-up key is not chipped, try holding your chipped key next to the one in the ignition and see if bike will start. Also, I know that UtahPete wrapped on a stuck key and it worked for him. I would use a rubber mallet or similar and gingerly give the stuck key a few smacks straight down into the ignition. Good luck and let us know.....

It won't start because it is not a chip key and it's stuck in the ignition turned to the right

Try this
If the key is in straight in original position move the key up and down while pulling it out. If at an angle move the key up and down at that angle and twist to center. Idea is to try and wiggle the tumbler pins to line up...

STUCT KEY
This happens frequently on my Toyt Tacoma ..... It has to do with the Steering lock mechanism ....if you turn the handle bars slightly Rt, or Left this may release the pressure and the Key should turn ..... it can't hurt to try- even if this doesn't sound logical ....... Mike

Why are you using a non chipped key in the first place? Being Frugal is great but it does create problems right?

Glad you got it fixed. For future reference, don't forget the Spyder Codes app for your phone. There may have been someone close by that could have come out and assisted you.

I installed spydercodes now. What all can/does it do for you? I didn't see how someone would see if they were close to you. Thanks, Mike

Go to the "Real Help" tab and pick the state you are in. Then pick the closest town for a helper.
