does anyone know anybody at Freedom Cycles

[Jim]

I need help on something that might require management's access on their records. if anyone can help with a contact, i'd appreciate it.

[Jim]

got the answer i needed. apparently Grom's dont have a lock code anywhere on them. so if you lose the key, you're replacing the lock set. few locksmiths i called wont cut a key without the lock code. yay

That information can't be traced back by using the VIN?

Is there an immobilizer? If not, remove the lock set, take it to a keysmith and have them grind a key to match. A good one doesn't need no stinking codes, they can do it by putting the blank in, wiggling, grinding, wiggling, grinding, wiggling, unlocking, touch up grinding then as many copies as you want.

Code isn't stamped on the cylinder?

Apparently it is on the lock cylinder, according to the final post in that thread.

i ordered a lock set last night. already had the ignition removed and i pulled the tail lock last night. just need to break the gas tank lock.


from what i'm reading, the Grom's do not have have lock codes anywhere on them. there is a metal tag on the keychain when you get the bike from the dealership. neither dealers nor Honda Powersports USA have records of the lock code. so if you dont get that tag when you purchase the bike from someone, you're screwed if you lose the key. i was only given that one key.

I’ve had a few keys made in the past, the guy never asked for any codes. On most Japanese bikes, it’s ignition + helmet lock = fuel cap.
They put a tool in the ignition to figure out the trigger that unlocks it, then put the same tool in the helmet lock to get the trigger, then cut a key that will open all 3 locks. The fuel cap needs both triggers cut in the key, to open it. Just the single ignition key trigger, or the single helmet lock trigger, will not open the fuel cap.

for $140 on partzilla, you can get a new lock set with two keys (folding and smaller version). it sucks that it happened, but it's the best option.

That's probably cheaper than the locksmith
