Tell us where you got them cut. RONA used to cut them, notw their machine won't work with these doublesided blanks. Local locksmiths in Markham charge a $25 premium per key for Chinese blanks, they claim the chinese keys are brass plated hard steel (vs chrome plated brass) which damages their cutting blades.
That would be great -- I have a handful of Goldwing, Yamaha and Lexus 300/330 blanks that are no longer useful to me. I'll find them and server them up to whoever needs them.
I got spares for mine cut at the local Canadian tire..but it's a different looking key, so maybe a more common older style due to the year of my bike?
I always carry spares for my wifes bike on my bikes key ring, and vice versa...if we're ever travelling together and one of us loses our keys, we're not stranded.
I don't think it does, it's just a key with a little plastic doubt there's any room in it for a chip even lol.
I do have a metal chip tag that came with the key, has letters and some numbers , guessing that could be an immobiliser code, the ad asks for one as well so I reckon they deal with it - will see what they say.
Stopped into recommended cutter ...no go ...it's chipped
The blank fits in the ignition ...
$40 for a chipped blank sucks. Then apparently $25 to cut it. Cheaper to courier my spare from Aus.

I'll take them off your hands if you can't use them. The ones for my ST1300 feel like they're made of butter. I've been wanting to replace them forever. Let me know. Mine is not chipped.
I received the keys yesterday, fast shipping from US, ordered 2 even since they were cheap, 40 cad for both with shipping instead of 100+ for a single one, don't know why it's so expensive locally, didn't even try a quote with a Yamaha dealer.
They start the bike, although it's hard to activate the steering lock with em, might be that the ignition is old I'd guess or need to be broken in a little lol.

I've got insurance and the bike isn't in an easy to take location, not much else you can do other than attach 5 chains to the wheels lol.
You wouldn't need a key to steal a bike anyways.
