Spare Kymco Key

[klaviator]

Hey, Klav! We'll be passing your area this coming Tuesday on our way to Maggie Valley, NC on US 72! I'll be on a white DT300i and she'll be on her all black GTi300 with the extra whells pullin' a trailer. If it ain't rainin' real bad......

Karl

PS: NOPE, we won't. We'll be further south on 278 so disregard.

Have fun.  I love Maggie Valley and the roads around it.  I was in that area this weekend.  I did a ride report here: http://bamarides.com/ride/index.php?topic=1071.0

Update on my LIKE200I spare key.
Took the key and blank to my grumpy locksmith who charges $4....same guy who fussed when cutting spare keys for my Burgman.
He refused to cut it.....this isn't brass .  .can't cut it. Actually laughed at me for trying to ruin his cutter.
Took it to hardware store...they cut perfect key for $1.60.
Humph...??

Update on the spare key for my People GTi300.

Ordered it 3rd week of May. You need 2 pieces: the plastic keyhead with magnet that unlocks the shutter AND a key blank. After almost two months wait time I called to see where my key "combo"   was. Gentleman at Kymco Parts Monster had to call Kymco and found out that the part number for the plastic key head was no longer any good. So they ordered a different part number and it showed up in my mailbox last Saturday. I open it and find a bag with 2 plastic keyheads (correct keyheads, thankfully) and the entire magnetic shutter that mounts on top of the ignition lock cylinder  . So now I have 2 keyheads, a shutter I don't need, and no key blank to stick in the keyhead    . Looks like I have to put in another order for 15 bucks plus shipping to get a key blank. This will definitely end up costing over $100 just for a spare key! My advice to anyone planning to buy a Kymco with a security shutter: be absolutely sure that it comes with 2 keys, or that the price of a second key is negotiated into the purchase price. If you currently own a Kymco with a security shutter, treat those keys as if they are made of gold!!!

And don't take this post wrong, I am totally head-over-heels in love with the People. Just wish the keys were cheaper and easier to get!

Chinese replacement not available ...from Alibababababa? etc.
Bought 4 of these magnetic shutter keys for my new Burgman for less than $20....came from Hong Kong in less than two weeks.
They work fine after installing magnets properly.

According to Kymcos part finder thing on heir website, there are 2 different style key possibilities, a right cut or a left cut plus the shutter fob
Part numbers are
35111-LDC1-305-M1 for the right cut key blank $16.00
35111-LDC1-306-M1 for the left cut key blank $16.00
and
35111-LDC1-307-M1 for the shutter fob. $41.00

 I would just call a dealer, have then check with kymco and order the correct parts
