In reference to recent discussions on key replacement.
Today as I walked past a Mr Minit in our local shopping centre, I showed him my bike key and asked if he could duplicate it?
He looked at my key and then pulled a blank out of his key drawer.
Then showing me an electronic device said that he could set the microchip on the new key to suit the ignition. All I needed to do was have my key and bike at the shopping centre.
The total cost would be $150 (Australian).
I have a 2013 R1200R and was surprised that:
He could cut a key for my bike
Had a suitable key blank
Could set the microchip
And it would only cost $150
This all made me feel like getting a key cut, even though I don’t need one.
