Engine Overheating and how to manage this weird key!

[JJW SpyderRider]

Be careful with drilling a hole in the key..... for a couple of reasons. First, if not done very carefully, you could render the key useless by damaging the circuitry inside, and I'd imagine it would be a fairly expensive key to replace.

Much more importantly though, would be the consequence of succeeding and being able to put that key on a key ring. If you then, while ryding, have your keychain (now attached to your Spyder's key) dangling down at the top of your handlebar, you could interfere with the steering of your Spyder. :lecturef_smilie:

There are tight clearances between the forward part of the handlebar, just below and around the ignition key area, that if a keychain or other keys were dangling down, could interfere with the ability to turn the handlebars. At the very least, I could imagine a whole lot of scuffing and scratching of the surfaces in that area.

IMO, that's why there's no hole in the key to begin with. It was purposely designed to keep us out of trouble!

:agree: Don't let your other keys hang down and scratch up the finish, use the sleeve.
