Remove the headlight mount bolts,put a towel or padding on the front fender, lower the headlight housing, and then remove the two allen screws holding the ignition switch. Make a diagram of where the wires go for reassembly.

Look for the key number on the ignition. Sometimes it's right beside the key hole, other times it may be on the side or back.
With this number, I or another Locksmith can cut a key.
No need to re-key it.

The key number should match with one of these series:

Kawasaki Key Code Series

170-174
175-195
176K-250K
251K-325K
3101-3150
3201-3250
326K-400K
401-470
701-720
706-710
751-795
8001-9000
801-845
901-925
A00-A99
B8001-B9000
E8001-E9000
G1-G35

Interesting... Let think for a moment.... :whistle:

Now this is all hypothetical of course.... :huh: :dry:

So if myself or another member where to go to a locksmith or a webite similar to your signature URL address with a number such as from your list that matches our ignition switch we culd get a key cut.... :ohmy:

Now, from this hypothetical site of course.....

Hypothetically speaking, what would this cost approximately including shipping....

Boy, I wish I knew someone who was a lock smith.... in Canada.... but we're not allowed to discuss such matters os good thing this is all hypothetically speaking..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
