BRP side boxes locked, no key, any ideas?

[Slickster]

Bought a used Ryker with side boxes and rear box, key provided does not unlock any of them, rear box unlocked, dealer no help... what now? Drill out the lock? Obviously, that will destroy it, but I'm ok with that, anyone done this? What am I in for?

Nice dealer. A locksmith might be your answer to get access and a working key system going.

Shot in the dark and may not work. But if you provide VIN maybe BRP has a record.

It was a trade in, the previous owner may have given them the wrong keys. They were sympathetic, but couldn't actually help... Is it possible to peel away the cap, drill the tumbler and remove it, then open the box and replace the lock assembly?

Here in Ontario Canada you can go to the DOT office and pay a fee to receive a Used Vehicle Information kit. If a private individual is selling a used vehicle they must provide it to the new purchaser.
In the package it lists all the previous owners and their address during their ownership. If there is such a thing where you live, it may give you the address of the previous owner and perhaps you could reach out to them about the key issue??

Do you not have any friends who are rogues who carry a lock pick around in their pocket?

Yup, locksmith ~ I recently bought some cheap panniers for a bike that had no keys. My local locksmith opened them and made a couple of keys to suit.

The key doesn't fit the side or rear bags. What are you doing about starting the machine? Does the key fit the ignition?

It's a Ryker, so has a key fob thingie.

I drilled out both sides, which took about a minute. Both now open, will source replacement locks, or not... They just hold rain gear and some bungie cords. Thanks.

No biggie, it is a Spyder forum... Ryker forum really quiet... Happy trails.

Slickster, if you add your Ryker info in your signature line (as requested below) it will make it obvious to others what you are talking about.

Thread 'A Request Passed On To All - Add your Spyder/Ryker Year/model to your Sig Line!'

Jan 22, 2022

One off our members has sent me a private message requesting the following:

Would you ask all members to provide information about their Spyder/Ryker year, model in their signatures.

This will go a long way in helping people determine a good answer to questions that get posted, and do not appear in a specific forum for the product.

This will provide a quicker and more accurate reply in quite a few situations.
