Seems like your keyswitch has been messed with...3030vision wrote:Just a quick update: I ordered 3 new keys on eBay (can't be too safe) and none of them work. At this point I'm not sure if they keys were cut incorrectly or if there's an issue with my switch (assuming the former for now). Currently looking to source some older keys...
The search continues :/
Can't find my key! Need a new main switch with key :/
Re: New keys don't work
keysWhat is the number on your ignition?
I can check with a motorcycle shop in Toronto if you'd like. 67' CB77
66’ CB77 65’ bomber 68’ hellcat
Re: keysNumber is T8644. Same number on the steering column lock but I can't get a key even partially into the column lock. Thanks!
keyOh ok so then like the others say it might have been tampered with. A locksmith might be able to help. I ll see if my guy has that number key

Alright, so I finally worked the three newly cut keys from eBay into the ignition. I couldn't get any of them to even partially enter the column lock, which was also marked T8644.
I ordered two old keys, and only one of them works in both locks. Closer inspection reveals why: The newly cut keys and one of the old keys has an extra ridge on the top of the key (see the photo). I can't imagine why this bike would have shipped with two slightly varying keys, so I imagine I should try to track down keys without the ridge that will work in both locks. Interested to hear thoughts, but also hope this helps with others having key problems.
