hi guys, well, as per topic, i lost my motorbike keys. its a kawasaki gpx250 - yes im on my L's.

anyone know what would be the cheapest way to get my motorcycle running again! thanks

Pull your ignition out and bring it to a locksmith. Does it also have helmet lock on it as well? did it work off the same key?

Lol

I did the same on my old ZZR250!!!

There is a number on the face of the lock barrel, I think that it is a leter and four numbers.

I took the barrel out and took it in, to find out that this number is a key ID.....

Take the number to a good locksmith and see how you go before pulling it a part.

Try that, You might need proof of owner ship but.....

:(

thanks for the quick replies guys!

4admrn : I rang around and they are trying to charge me around $300!

KeyMaker: It has a helmet lock and a seat lock, all use the same key, any tips on pulling the ignition barrel out? Im a bit nervous, and dont want to screw anything up

seeyagtr: i looked for a number, all i could see was 238-M69 could this be the right number? or do i have to pull out the ignition barrel to find the number? also how much did it cost you to get another one?

thanks heaps guys, i really appreciate your help! i'm getting pissed of with catching the train to the city with all the other plebs every morning :thumbsup:

No that number you have isn't the one. You should be able to find it stamped on the side of the ignition housing, which involves taking the whole ignition housing and electrical switch off the bike, the electrical switch should be attached to it.

You may find the number on the side of the helmet lock body....maybe, maybe not. Taking the ignition assembly out should just be a matter of screws and bolts and taking off whatever shrouds you have to.

Find whatever numbers you can and pm them to me, I'll tell you if its the right one.

It should cost $30-$50 at the most to get a couple of keys cut from the number, thats if you go to them.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
