2012 RS-S on Oahu
Just got a new-to-me RS-S and am trying to duplicate the lone key which came with it. Can anyone in Hawaii clone the chip in addition to cutting the key? I have both a blank and original key.
Thanks!

ARtraveler, Right you are! So new I didn't even know what I have!! Yes, very few in the isles, no dealer here and still haven't found anyone who can clone the key. May have to track down a dealer on the mainland who's willing to do it by mail.

Not sure but I think you have to have the key in the bike when they program it with the BUDs system, its the bike they program to accept the key. Last I knew there was only one person in Hawaii that works on Spyders. You might want to try a search here on SL I remember a discussion about a person in the Army that found that guy that would work on Spyders and I think they use to rent Spyders at one time two so he may have a BUDs system.

So, if I understand you correctly, you have the original key for your Spyder, and a blank, chipped key that just needs to be cut and cloned. The blank key would have to be compatible and be something like this key:
https://mysecuritypro.com/ZD23RT5.aspx
Scroll to the bottom of that page for information on how to clone it.
This site is full of threads where folks have gotten their keys cloned at an Ace Hardware store or Lowes. You don't have them in Hawaii? Tell the locksmith it is a standard T5 chip. I don't know what that means, but that's the information from here and apparently a locksmith will understand. Remember, cloning a key is different than reprogramming keys. Cloning doesn't need a dealer or BUDS, and works for the 998 Spyders with the old system - which is what you have. The locksmith just needs to have those standard cloning tools. Google flagged me these two places that are somewhere in Oahu:
https://www.salzlock.com/automotive
http://www.keyguyhawaii.com/services.html
And truthfully, the last thing I would do is place the only key I had into the mail or UPS and ship it off anywhere. Keep looking. Good luck.

Dear Snowbelt Spyder,
You are correct. I have a blank that I got on eBay before I determined how difficult it would be to get it duplicated here in HI. I called both the listings above and was told they couldn't do it. Ditto with Ace and Lowe's. Price of paradise, I guess! Other locksmiths have told me they could "try" but with no guarantees. If I shipped it off, I'd send it registered mail and pay to have it sent back the same way. Appreciate your help.

Hey Phil. I just added a bit more information to my post above. Just to make sure you've seen it. Although, I don't know if it helps your situation. A Spyder dealer cannot clone your key and needs your Spyder in order to reprogram keys. I'm pretty amazed you can't find a locksmith that can clone that key. Good luck.

Suggest you contact Mary Monteverde at Hawaiispyder.com. She rents Spyders, she has to have a mechanic or else knows how to work on them herself.

All, I got my key duplicated and both of them back safely via registered mail one way and two separate priority mailings back (if that makes sense). Bill Taylor (www. keys4urride.com) provided outstanding, one-day turn-around service (even though the registered mail took almost two weeks from HI>NC!). All's well that ends well! Thanks for all the helpful comments.
