KEY REPLACEMENT FOR BIKES

Whatever you’re riding, whether it’s a motorcycle, moped or even a scooter and you have a key problem – call us!

We can create a replacement for any kind of bike key, and here are a few helpful hints when it comes to dealing with any kind of key problem you might have:

  • Spare key– you’ve only got one key? What happens if that breaks or goes missing?
    • Obviously you and your bike aren’t going anywhere.
    • The expense of a total key replacement
    • Vulnerability – if you don’t know where your key has gone it may be that someone’s got them … and have their eye on your bike!
    And the solution, of course, is to have us create a duplicate made from your existing key, while you wait. It’s far cheaper and much less hassle than having to arrange to get a whole new key created and programmed so it works with your bike.
  • Emergency replacement of lost or stolen keys– it takes one of our mobile technicians less than an hour to get to you, anywhere within London and the Home Counties, and once he’s with you he’ll create and program a new key to get you back on the road again.
  • ECU Programming
  • Key repairs– often there’s no need to replace a bike key if it’s broken. We have the skill, technology and components to rebuild many types of damaged keys, so ask us about a repair before opting for a complete replacement
  • Snapped or bent keys – if the key is badly bent, or even if the blade has snapped clean off, we can recreate and reattach that blade, leaving you a with fully functional key once more
  • Transponder chip programming– It doesn’t happen very often, but when the transponder chip in your key goes out of synchronisation with your bike you’re not in as deep trouble as you might think: give us a call and our mobile technician will re-program that transponder for you so you can get back in the saddle again in minutes.
  • Broken key removal– if this happens to you, for whatever reason, don’t try and prise the key blade out of the ignition barrel. Leave it to us to get that blade back out again without leaving even the smallest mark, and then we’ll cut an exact duplicate of the original blade and reconstruct your key while you wait.
  • Key cutting and programming– yes, we can cut and program an exact duplicate of the key you hand over to us, and yes, we can cut and program a whole new key as long as we have access to your bike’s key code to start with.
  • Ignition switch repair or replacement– an old, worn key blade could well wear out the ignition barrel over a long time, to the point where it no longer functions. If that happens to you, call us on 020 3944 9356 because more often than not we can repair it – and if we can’t fix it, we can replace it for you.

Key to the Highway: Motorcycle Key Replacement

Motorcycles are in many ways the coolest vehicles in the world. Sleek, sexy, fast, manoeuvrable liberating. Unfortunately, they are also vulnerable. In order to steal a car, there is the small matter of gaining entry in the first place. To steal a bike, people don't have to break in. The motorcycle is just standing there, unprotected, and all that is needed is a key to take control of it. That makes motorcycle key replacement a vital element in your security.

If your bike is a few years old - and from Harleys to Bonnevilles, some of the coolest ones are - it probably has a conventional metal key, in which case the key words are motorcycle key cutting.

Motorcycle Key Programming For More Modern Bikes

The more modern ones - and they can be every bit as cool in a different way - will have electronic keys, sometimes referred to as transponders, and getting a new one of those involves motorcycle key programming.

You know the world today is run by computers and modern bikes are no exception. We've all got a computer in our pocket disguised as a smartphone, and bikes have computers that control many things including locking/immobilisation and ignition. To make the key work the bike, it has to be programmed to be compatible, and in the right hands, this is a simple process.

We at Car Keys Solutions are experts with two wheels as well as four (and more), and if you want to find out more about how we can help you, just get in touch. If you have lost your key or you want a spare, contact us and we'll help you out, no problem. We have a presence in an increasing number of locations, and if you can't get to us, we have a call-out service by which we will come to where you are.

So if your key has mysteriously gone missing, we'll come out with a new one, programmed to link up with the bike. And if you're concerned about the old one getting into the wrong hands, don't worry. By reprogramming with a new code, the old key will become invalid and useless. And there's nothing funnier than a thief pointing a key at a bike and getting no response. As for you, the rightful owner, you'll be up and running in no time, back in charge of your prize possession. Did someone say "Get your motor running"? Well, head out on the highway.
