My 998s only came with one key and without the metal code strip attached

Does anyone know where/how you can get a spare cut as only one key makes me nervous!!

Thanks

Had the same problem with the 996R. Got a new Ducati key blank from Snells and my local Minuteman store cut me a new one - less than £10 all in.

I got a blank from Ducati, then got it cut at a local key cutter.

Apparently you can use some Kawasaki key blanks as well, they just don't say Ducati on them.

If you cant get a ducati blank then kawasaki ones are the same. Any high street locksmith type person should be able to cut it for you.

That was bloody quick!!

So somewhere like DLS would sell key blanks?

I wouldn't even bother making a special trip to a Ducati dealer for a start. As others have said, your friendly neighbourhood key-cutter may well have a suitable blank; I got a key cut for my 750SS just round the corner.

Ducati key blanks are also sold on ebay.

My bike (996s) only came with one key - my local shoe repairers/ key cutters sent off for kawasaki blank keys and 2 days later cut me a couple of spares.

There's a bloke in Chelmsford, who if you take a digital picture of your key, will cut one for you and tell you the number as well.

Can dig out his address if you want.
