I have a project Gt750 that is missing the ignition switch. If I find a used one can they be taken apart and re-keyed? And can the gas cap and seat lock be re-keyed to match (key is missing for these also)?
Or can new keys be ordered going by the numbers on the locks? Any suppliers out there?
I have no experience with Suzuki locks, but on Yamahas the seat lock cannot be re-keyed, so the gas cap and ignition switch are changed inside to match it.
thanks
Mark

Re: Ignition Switch Replacement, and re-keying
You might get by with 2 keys and not much fuss. Take off the seat latch or the parking lock and take it to a locksmith. Any good locksmith can make a key. That will fit everything, the 2 pieces mentioned and the gas cap. For the ignition switch, go to ebay and search "suzuki gt750 ignition switch". Here you can buy a used one or a brand new aftermarket from the UK. I bought on of the aftermarkets and it is quite nice quality,

I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
