A bike with no key is a bike that does not move. You cannot push it past a steering lock, and unlike a car you cannot quietly leave it somewhere while you sort things out.
We cut a new key from the ignition barrel at the bike and code it to the immobiliser where fitted. No trailer, no dealer wait.
All of it done at the bike, any hour:
Make, model and year, and whether the key is lost, snapped or stuck. Bring registration papers and matching photo ID.
With nothing to copy, we read the ignition barrel, or the seat or fuel cap lock where those are easier to access.
New blade cut, immobiliser programmed, then tested on ignition, steering lock, seat and fuel cap before we finish.
Bike keys snap more often than car keys. The blades are slimmer, the barrels tighter, and riders apply more force than they realise when a lock is stiff.
If it has broken off in the ignition, leave it alone. Pliers and paperclips push the fragment deeper and damage the wafers, which turns a straightforward extraction into a barrel replacement.
We extract the broken section along the keyway with proper tools, check whether the barrel survived, and cut a replacement. If the barrel is worn out, see motorcycle ignition repair.
Stop and leave it. Every attempt to dig it out makes the repair bigger and more expensive.
Steering locks, seat locks and disc locks all become a problem when the key is gone. The seat lock in particular matters, because on many bikes the battery and toolkit live under the seat, and some models hide part of the ignition wiring there too.
We open seat locks, fuel caps and steering locks without cutting or drilling wherever the design allows it, then cut you a key on the spot so it does not happen twice.

We come to cars, utes, vans and motorcycles across Werribee and the wider Wyndham area, including:
Call us with the make, model and year. We come to the bike, decode the ignition barrel, cut a new key and program the immobiliser if it has one. There is no need to transport the bike anywhere.
Yes, and please do not try first with pliers or a paperclip. Forcing the fragment deeper damages the wafers and can turn a simple extraction into a full barrel replacement.
On most bikes, yes, without cutting or drilling. That matters because the battery and toolkit usually live under the seat, and on some models so does part of the ignition wiring.
Most jobs are finished inside an hour at the bike. Bikes with an immobiliser and no working key take longer, because the system has to be returned to a state where it accepts a brand new key.
