Excuse me, I need to vent.
I got my Tenere back up and running last month (burned out voltage regulator).
I got it inspected and the rear tire replaced this morning.
I then got it inspected registered, and a new rear tire this morning.
I decided to run some errands that would need my side cases to carry some things. I got to put on on, and the key breaks. I bought the bike used and I don't have a spare.
I called my local Yamaha dealer, and was informed that Yamaha doesn't sell keys based on VIN. I would have to replace all of the locks. I verified this with another dealer.
I called some locksmiths. One didn't handle motorcycles at all. One wanted me to bring the bike to them (I'm not another $125 towing charge). And, one might be able to do it, but his motorcycle guy is off today. His motorcycle guy is working tomorrow from 7 AM to 4 PM. I ned to call him and see if he can do it and how much it would be. I hope he can. Other wise I will be buying a used ignition and gas cap off of eBay and try to do it myself. I've looked at what it will take to do this. I really don't want to do it myself.
