Ignition switch removal

[kain929]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the ignition switch from my 2006 zx-10. My main question is do I have to drill out the rivets on the bottom of the ignition in order to remove the switch? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone have a service manual online, can you post the link.

call a locksmith, they can usually make keys to match the lock, or ignition switch

No, sorry, a lock smith can't help you with this. The ignition is coded and programed to accept only 5 keys as a maximum. When this bike was new the owner would have been given two black handled keys and one red master key. The only key that is allowed to be copied is the master key. Without it you will have to get a new entire ignition switch, transponder, etc. I'll tell you now, it isn't going to be cheap.
