replacemnt key is less tha $30 from dealer, but you have to take it to get it cut, then the dealer will reprogram all of your keys. If you loose all of your keys then the anti theft device has to be replaced and that IS probably $125-150 at least. I have the key holster on a neck strap along with the bag keyad a thumb drive with all my emercency data. Works well for me.
Key
drill hole on BRP key or make another one?

This is my first reply to any discussion, so hope I'm not messing something up.
My Spyder is really my daughter's, which I am holding for her until she gets some leave time from the Navy as she's at sea right now. Anyway, I was concerned that the key does not have a hole in it to put it on a ring. I took a picture of a key that had a leather cover added with a key ring at the end to someone who makes things out of leather. Using that as a guide, he made this black leather holder for my daughter's Spyder key. It really does the job!
Just one other idea on how to work through this issue....

From Arthur---Mexico City,
My Spy has been giving me a fit going into the Limp Mode now 4 times for no apparent reason. thge Spy mechanic with his trusty laptop and that BUDS modulecould not fix it at my home so it was carted away. the mechanic told me that the key should not be left in it when not being uesd, that it should be removed and kept at least 32" away from the Spy. He said that leaving the key in the Spy runs down the battery. Is this BS or not?

I was not happy with a key with no hole in it. I searched and concidered
drilling the factory key. Not convinced that was a good idea I looked further.
I found that you could get keys that could be " CLONED" to be electronicly
identical to your factory key. The Aprilia Scooter from Italy uses the same
ignition switch and transponder. The JMA key company has a blank and transponder
chip that worked great!
I got blanks from motorcyclekeys.com and had them cut and coded locally.
Most professional lock shops have key cloners that are also used to do
the same procedure on modern automobiles. This worked great and was very
reasonable. The blanks were 15.00 each and the local lock smith charged
10.00 to flash them as a copy of one of my factory key.
I now have an extra key that has a hole in it and works GREAT.
