Ilco's X270 key blank...

My RT's also a 2010... When they cut your keys did they reconfigure the "shoulder" of them?

Nope. The young lady did two blanks in about 1 minute. I didn't mention that there might be problems. Took them out and they worked. DOn't know what to say.

I just had my other two cut, and I'll need to take a file to the shoulders again... Just another weekend project! :thumbup:

Ilco's X270 key blank...

I AM TRYING TO GET SPARES MADE FOR MY 2014 AND THE 2 LOCKSMITHS I HAVE GONE TO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A KEY.

I HAVE A 2009 SUZUKI SX4 CROSSOVER AND IT HAS A KEY THAT SLIPS INTO A KEY FOB BUT IS NOT A CHIP KEY. I HAD NEW KEYS MADE FROM A REGULAR BLANK AND I HAD TO FILE THE SHOULDERS DOWN SO IT WOULD GO IN FAR ENUF TO START THE CAR BUT THEY DID OPEN THE DOOR LOCKS. BETTER THAN SPENDING $75 FOR A KEY THAT ISN'T EVEN A CHIP KEY. WHAT A RIP OFF. THANKS, MIKE

If your locksmiths can't cut an X-270 to match your key: you need new locksmiths... nojoke
I went to a local Ace Hardware Store... the kid had no problem copying the key.
Five minutes after he was done with the key: he was stocking shelves... definitely NOT a "locksmith". :shocked:

Hey Bob,
I'll autograph that picture of my key if you want.

Where I live the hardest part of the job was finding the blank. Then the "aw :cus:"
popped up when it wouldn't depress far enough into the ignition switch to unlock the frunk or seat. Beveling it on the bench grinder was no problem.

:clap: The picture of mine was blurry... pps:

Just buy this instead of the X270 and leave the flat Bastard in the tool box. http://www.keys4urride.com/service-key-no-transponder-zd24rdpsi-p-153.html

I also had mine done at Ace. Did not try it to open the frunk. I have set my seat up so I don't need to unlock it. I have a second keyin the rear trunk and I know I can unlock it with the Ilco key which I carry in my wallet.

One of my greatest joys in life: telling the Missus that I've got to wake up the Flat Bastard... :roflblack:

 

[JayBros]

The service key Billy mentioned is very nice and would save the beveling. I prefer to keep the Ilco in my wallet where the service key would be too fat. YMMV.

I don't know what year model your bike is, my experience is with a 2013, bikes 2014 and newer are a different animal when it comes to a chipped key.

Most hardware stores will not carry bike key blanks. You can, however, order them online. I have ordered from these folks (http://www.lockpicks.com/aprilia-scooters-transponder-key-rw-zd23rt5-jma.html). I have had the blanks cut at Ace Hardware and at Lowes. I have also had them clone the key from one of my originals with no problems. There are more than a few threads on cloning if your bike is older than 2014.

If you are only interested in a non-chipped key, these folks carry that: http://mysecuritypro.com/TriumphTMC1MotorcycleKeyBlanks.aspx. I have not purchased from them so I don't personally know about their service.

Try "Googling", "Ilco X-270", and you can buy truckloads of them online... :thumbup:

YES! being in the door industry, you think i could source these blanks from the locksmiths i work with all the time. no such luck. they can show them to me in the book, but can't order them from their suppliers. even tried to order 10 at a time and no go.

let me know which hoops to jump thru & i will.

You can order them here, then take them to your locksmith.
