Spyder key

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

And I don't worry about it at all! I just pull the key out of the ignition and drop it into my pocket! If I ever should lose it I will retrieve the non-chip key from behind the mirror, open the seat and trunk, and use the Torx driver to remove the passenger seat back. And there then in front of me is the chip spare key! A bit of a rigamarole to get to the spare but sure beats walking 20 miles to get another one! And there's nothing easier than just dropping the key into one's pocket. No lanyards, no carabiners, no key rings, no nuthin' to mess around with! hyea:

I'd like to put a key ring through the Spyder key. Is it possible to drill a tiny hole at the top of the key without hitting anything important? I've seen the key covers/holders, but was hoping this would be another solution.

Where can you get a non chip key?

Where can you get a non chip key?

Local key shop may have one, otherwise several sellers on Amazon or eBay. Look for Ilco X270.

Thank you I will have to try that.

The Ilco X270 keyblank worked very well for pre-2014 bikes.
When BRP changed to the newer, tougher to crack DESS: they made a small dimensional change to the key
(Besides changing to a much more "interesting" chip...)
If you compare your key VERY closely to the "X": make your own decision as to it's usefulness.

I found them to be a "Hit & Miss" affair.
It worked for the luggage locks; not for the ignition...

I just checked my 2014 Spyder key vs. my cut X270 vs. a blank uncut X270. I don't see any dimensional differences at all between the Ilco and the Spyder keys. My X270 works good in both the ignition and trunk lock. Maybe there was a variation in the manufacture of the X270s that caused some lots to be different from the norm? I think the problem of X270 cut keys not working is more likely a key cutting issue rather than a key blank issue. Not every person who cuts keys gets it right the first time, especially folks in hardware stores and such who don't do it full time for a living.

When I bought my blanks I got a package of ten. I cut 2 for the 2013 RT I had and 2 for the RT I have now. I sold 4 of them to a couple of SL members and got no feedback about any problems with them. I would say if someone wants a non-chip key get and cut the Ilco X270. The chances of having a problem are pretty unlikely.

Ordered one of these off ebay on the 22nd and arrived today. $13/shipped. Anodized aluminum, socket head flat screw with included wrench. Fit perfectly. Pretty darn nice..

** Now I see they're $16/shipped. I'll likely not order another at that price. **
