For reasons that would take too long to explain, I haven't ridden my FZ6 for a long time. I never re-assembled it after having it painted because of the aforementioned reasons, and the fact that I lost the key while it was apart. I've since moved to a new house, and the key never turned up in all of the packing and unpacking. I checked everywhere. Ironically, the last time I saw it was when I took it to get spares cut, but the place that said they could do it over the phone told me they couldn't when I showed up with the key. I did double back there to make sure they didn't keep it; if they did, they aren't giving it up.
Anway, I called every locksmith in the book and got a hard NO from every single one of them when I asked if they could do anything for me. They all asked the make of the bike, and when I said Yamaha they couldn't hang up the phone fast enough. I did find one who recommended I remove the ignition switch and bring it to a locksmith (not him, one of his friends) who might be able to help. I'm afraid I'll run into problems with the ECU if I have a reluctant locksmith poke at it with his tools.
I've been completely unmotivated to do anything about this problem until recently, and thought I would consult with the experts while also learning what I can online. If you were me, what would you do at this point?
