key ring hole in spyder key

I saw a picture of a spyder key that had a hole in it with a red buckle up streamer on it in your pictures titled Suff. I was told by my dealer that you couldn't put a hole in the key because the key has a chip in it. Was that your key or someone elses? The more important question is: Does the key still work?

I have had a hole in my key since Jan 2008 with no problems.

I put it in the corner of the key by the edge to be able to put it on my key chain.

I used the point of a hot sodering iron and put a hole right through just above where the bottom of the head meets the metal part of the key. No problems. I did it with both keys after I saw someone else do it to theirs... a guy I met up with at my house on his Spyder. I don't have a picture with me.

Personally, I adapted to the little lanyard that comes with the key.

Personally I would hate to have and see a nasty bunch of keys flapping around the area of the keyhole -- doing damage to that area.

They key is very safe in the lanyard. It will not fall out.

I will second that. Many times I have seen bikes badly pitted and scratched around the key switch area, due too multiple keys on a ring flapping in the wind. Even a leather key holder attached to the key can do some damage over time. Doesn't matter if it is chromed metal or plastic it will take its tole.

Works great for me.

I did this the other day, mostly to make it easier to hang on the hook at the house. I used a 1/16 bit, and the smallest keyring I could find. Works like a charm, no problems at all.

This is where I put the hole on mine... I am tired of forgetting my key in the ignition. I'd rather have some scratches than a stolen Spyder.

Hey Les,

Here's the picture, and by the way you're still ugly.

I agree this is how I have placed my key for the past 20 months. My two keys came with a sheath and at the end of the sheath there was a small ring. When originally testing the bike some 2 years ago BRP gave me a lanyard to wear around my neck and thats where I keep my key. It fits well and secure in the sheath and dose not interfear with anything, I always carry the spare but it also is kept in the sheath in a zipped pocket by itself, (I prefer to keep it on me rather that realise I have locked it it the trunk as thats a hassle).

No holes to drill and the key is secure and away from all the other keys I tend to carry these days.......Maybe when you test the new RT BRP may be doing the same, I won't know yet as my appointment is not until the 24th of this month and I am realy looking forward to seeing the RT in person and taking for a ride as it looks much more comfortable for my spouse that my RS ( which I like a bunch as well).

I CAN TELL THAT IS NOT REAL, IT IS A TRICK KEY CHAIN, SO THERE
