• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

622 Trailer Lock removal question

I am selling my 622 trailer that is keyed the same as my bike. I'd rather not give away one of my keys with the trailer. Does anybody know if you have to have the key to remove the barrel? My RTL came with an extra lock so I am hopping others did too.

Thanks,

Bob
 
Yes

You need the key, and a barrel tool. Picture a piece of razor thin spring steel. The barrel catch is the deepest of the tumblers. Your dealer can remove the barrel.
We learned this trick when Ann’s barrel was .05mm too deep. Naturally, I destroyed it in my learning process!!
barrels keyed differently have a red key, no chip. Joe
 
Maybe you could get a dummy key cut from your Spyder key. Might work, then you wouldn't have to give up an ignition key.
 
Thanks Joe

Pull the barrel before you sell the trailer !:dontknow:

I thought about that but it is too cold / salty roads to ride down to the dealer and I don't really want to take the back end of the trailer apart to do it. I think a call to the dealer for a key may be easiest.

Thanks,

its really not that bad, some odd positions to reach things but not as tight spaced as working on spyder. & if your buyer has a spyder they can acquire a new core & have rekeyed by locksmith to match theirs. Once you get the lock mechanism off :
other than that a chip less blank Ilco X270 (cut to fit)will work just fine.

Helpful. Thanks.
 
When my wife bought her 622 trailer, she didn't get a key with it. I was able to replace the tumbler with hers without a problem. No, you do not need a key.

I am the buyer. So, I'm going to have to replace the tumbler sooner rather than later because right now I can't lock it at all.
 
You're right. I was confused.

When you do a proper search of a topic, you should at least read the dates to ensure the posts are somewhat current before resurrecting topics from a while back with a new trivial set of posts.

Use the search feature to find the information or search outside Spyderlovers with Google.com
 
Really. I see no reason to blast him for asking a question or resurrecting a thread. Ask a question and hope to get a answer to the issue.:banghead:

Actually l was following a suggested link from a response to my own thread and found it helpful, so said as much, which inadvertently resurrected the thread. Then I got confused as to which thread I was responding to.
