That is the Euro Key, mine looks exactly like that.

I have two black keys and one red, the red one is the coded key for the immobiliser.

 

Must be a non U.S. key.
These are mine & I'm in South Africa.

 

:yesnod

Yes mine looks exactly the same :fact

We have the Euro Spec in SA, it has coded keys, hazard switch and immobiliser. Different ECU too.

:thumbup

 

Same in Japan, and everywhere else in the world... Just something else that the US misses out on...

 

You can get a key blank like that if you know someone in Canada who wants to buy one and ship it to you. :fact :thumbup

 

Just out of curiosity, what do the U.S. keys look like?

 

Here ya go... here's a pic of my US spec key that came with my bike and the one I bought from a friend in Canada.

 

I see, I see. Considering I don't have a single canadian friend, does anyone know of a website where I can order this key from?

Also, what's this immobilizer? Was there a factory alarm option?

The immobilizer is not on the US bikes... so don't worry about it. No there was not a factory alarm option. :fact

 

The key is electroniallylinked to the immobilizer. You can't just cut a key and use it. The red key is the coding key, and if you lose this one then you can't recode a new black key to suit your bike. Apparently it's a couple of grand to replace the red key and required equipment to get it all going again. Just what I've heard anyway. It's all about security. You can download the euro manual from the yamaha euro website and read all about it from there. I've got a copy here of he '06 manual but can't figure out how to cut the text. Maybe it's got security on it?

Manual states "if the code re-registering key is lost (the one with the red bow), registering new codes in the standard keys is impossible. The standard keys can still be used to start the vehicle, however if code re-registering is required (i.e if a new standard key is made or all the keys are lost) the entire immobilizer system must be replaced"

I was told to take the red key & lock it in a safe, because if I lost it, it'd cost around R20 000 ($3000) to replace.
Not a good thing seeing as I'm great at losing keys.

 

Is Sarah still getting them for us? I haven't seen her post in a while.

 

Sarah told me she doesn't get on the forum too much anymore. She used to get all those keys for everyone. They look cool, but don't do anything to make it faster, so I never ordered one. They are 40 buck or so aren't they? My Duc came with a key like that.

 

you mean a key like this?

I got mine from a member in Canada, but I don't think they do it anymore. Try and find someone from Canada or baisicly anywhere else other than USA. They will be able to get you a blank from their dealership.

 

What would it take to get an immobilizer (and install it) and the keys? Would be a nice little piece of security (or at least aggravate the thief a little bit more).

a couple of thousand dollars! :fact

 

I might be able to get those keys from a dealership here in Japan, if someone was that intrested...

 

I'd love to get one also. Let us know the price shipped if you can get some!

 

:fire:fireYES!:fire:fireI want one!:fire

 

Okay, I just got off the phone with a dealer here. A blank Black Key (Imoblizer enabled) will be 1,885 Yen. So about $18, and I can't imagine shipping to be more than $5 or $6.

So thats $24 and paying by paypal add 3% (thats paypal not me) Come to $24.72 so we will say $25 a key shipped make it easy.

I don't want to make a bunch of one and twos orders so lets say a cut off of July 21. Sound Good?

PM me if intrested.

 

I know this should probably be in a new thread but for those of you who were able to get a hold of a dealer to get the key, can you guys check if the dealer can order these euro-spec lanyards too (part# YMD-10011-20-00 and YMD-41017-00-00)? Thanks!

 

Hey Thisoneguy..can you get a price on those too! I'd like to get one of each as well. Let me know. Thx Ray

 

ME :fire 2:fire

 

Right now I have 4 for keys - do not fret that I have not returned your PMs, I don't want to have you paypal me the money, and then feel like I am sitting on it, I will PM on or about 20-21 July with my address.

And I will have to call on the lanyards... Thanks for the part number, Makes things easy, as I don't speak Japanese all that well and every phone call is a lesson...

 

LOL! Thanks! +1 for the key as well. Is it possible to get the red code key? It just looks cooler.

 

I'm Talking Bout The Key

 

Are You A Soldier Station In Japan

 

I've got sol but I'm not a Soldier.

I called about the lanyards, they said that they could not order, but we had a bit of a disconnect, so I am not sure if they understood... I will go in this afternoon with pictures and see if we can find them..

Keys so far:

aspenboarder
huanab
TWISTM
afsflory
FLR1
Rishee x2
pv107 x2
CL'SR1
mikeylikesit

And I forgot to ask about the red key, I will when I go in tonight...

 

couldnt a US dealer just order one from japan or another country?

 

Well Boys and Girls, got a little bad news...

I just got back from the dealer...
They can order Lanyards, though they look nothing like those, they look a little cheep to be frank, you know the kind they give a way at events... Sorry bout that...

And the red key, they can order, but it is apart of some special master key set ups something or other... and is roughly $2800... So black it is...

 

Bummer, I guess I'll just tie a string to my key And ouch on the red key! Okay, just a black one for me then. Thanks!

 

god you usa boys n girls miss out on the good shizzle. first i heard about the lag issue the 07 R1 had there and now you dont even get the nice keys. also no immoboliser. what's next, you dont' get DNA Datadot system standard on your motorcycles?

Also of note, Yamaha does sell an upgrade on their site here in Australia to upgrade the immoboliser to a full in house alarm unit. me i think it is gay to have the bike go beep beep everytime i need to get on and ride.

 

bummer

I sent a PM, but just in case, I'd like a key too. That sucks about the red key, would have gone great with my candy red 08. :rock
