Hi, can anyone help? I've lost my only key for my RS 50. Is there a generic key, or can you force the ignition barrel without f***ing the scoot up?
CHEERS?

Using a 1/16th inch drill bit you can drill into the tumblers. Once you clear the last tumbler it is easy to break them off with a screwdriver.
Then head to your local key shop, and buy any key that is similar size to your old one. It can be left blank, and will work.

I took my scoot to a yamaha dealer and they made a key right there.

You can also take it to the local locksmith and have them make a key. Most can be impression end fairly easily, or the can usually pull the cylinder plug right out and then make a key easily. You don't have to drill anything or destroy the cylinder. We do this all the time at the shop I work for in the summer.

Thanks. A bit too late for me. I've already taken Zombie's advice. Worked like a treat and only took seconds, only problem is any small key will start it now. On the up side I didn't spend any more money on what has become a bit of a money pit!
Cheers again for the advice

Always happy to save a few bucks. My ZX has been drilled for years, and my 4t is push button start.
I wish they would get stolen...
