Topic: 400F. Lost Key. What Does One Do In 2024?

[Hailwood1965]

I'm hoping I have merely misplaced my key but I may have lost it.

What are the options to get a new key? Or new ignition?

Also, the seat is closed. How would I get it open if I bought a new seat lock and key?

Thanks much

Welcome to the forum....

Somewhere on the ignition switch and seat lock, there should be a number code of the key, you can search that number and probably find a used key on ebay.

Yes, you may need to pull the switch and there should be a number on it. Then search for that number...

Also I think you can just unbolt the seat latch reaching up and using an extension and probably a 10mm socket ??

[Hailwood1965]

Okay. I was able to get at the key cylinder. I'm new here and hope the photo I am posting does post ... So I am looking for Honda key # 70809 ?

[grcamna2]

Yes.
The numbers were always etched/stamped into the case;certain Japanese bikes required lots of cleaning-off the outer switch case to find it,as the manufacturer can hide them,which is a good thing.

THANK YOU!!

I'm pretty sure the way it works is that the moment that you buy a replacement key the misplaced  one shows up ...

[grcamna2]

Spares are good 

Good deal on the key !

Dan Kyle's old shop??

Dan is dead and has been for years. I had no idea they were still operating under his name.

I'd bet about $5 of that is postage!

[Hailwood1965]

The replacement key has arrived and all is well.

[bryanj]

And now you will find the original!
