Can Motorcycle Keys Be Duplicated?

[GideonMarie]

Most lost motorcycle keys can be duplicated. The owner can drive the motorcycle to a professional locksmith to have the ignition switch removed, and then a new key can be made. If the key is not duplicated, the only option is to replace the lock. Since the motorcycle's fuel tank cap and ignition switch use the same key, both locks would need to be replaced in this case. Pay attention to the key material: Some key blanks may appear to be made of metal but are actually of very poor quality. They may break after a short period of use, even before the teeth wear out. Therefore, it is essential to carefully check whether the key is made of pure metal. Identifying quality: The quality of a key can be distinguished by simply dropping it lightly onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor or glass tabletop. A good metal blank will produce a crisp metallic sound, while a poor-quality one will make a dull, muffled noise similar to the sound of plastic hitting a hard surface.
