Ignition key 2018 Spyder RT

[jreijers]

Hi all,

I got my 2018 spyder rt delivered yesterday. Bike is new to me.

There's not a hole in the key to add it to the key ring. I see some keys online do have a hole in it.

Can i drill a little hole to add it to my key ring?

Thanks,

John

Many options on key issues. :thumbup: Use the sight search caution on just drilling a hole the transponder chip embedded in keys is super fragile nick it & is toast:banghead: Couple vendors have clamp on case with hole for ring. Sure will chime in soon.

I wouldn’t do that! The key has a chip in it, if it were damaged you would need a new key ($25) and have to have it programmed ($100). The dealer needs the bike to do that. I used a split ring and slid it on to the top of the key, it’s worked well for me. I have the same bike. The dealer only gave me one key (after we signed papers), when I asked if there was another key I was told I would have to buy it. It took a poor review on their website before they agreed to give me one. I tried to post a picture but I couldn’t figure out how to do it.

These covers have gone up since I bought them but they are really nice and have colors to match most of our bikes

Watch the LaMonster video and drill the key.
Worked for me on 2 different Spyders.

Drill the key. I have done it to 3 spyders, 6 keys, no issues. Watch the videos to see where to drill.

In the video he does NOT say which size bit to use. What is suggested?

 

[FlyBoy2121]

I beerandchips

for size bit to use 1/8 '' to 3/16 '', I measured the diameter of the ring be 1/8 ''
