100% he cut it by duplication...brush it off and see how it works.
Ferret was lucky or had an experienced guy..or both Smile

so, he cut it by duplication , correct ?
The longer the key, the more proper method is required to cut it, which is not by duplication. A professional will ask you for the key tag, not your key..

The little metal strap called key tag has a number on its reverse ( I did not revel it for security reason)
Do it right or do not do it at all

Never got a metal tag with my keys. Duplication works if the cutter has decent experience. I used to do that job once myself.

It's a good idea to record the key tag number in your owners manual (or elsewhere). You never know when you might need it.

Good suggestion - tanks!

The key code tag is not very useful as locksmiths dont have the specific key cutting machine and code translation to do so. And due to the machine's expense, only a handful of Honda motorcycle dealers have them.

Best bet is to search for "Honda motorcycle keys cut by code" online. There are even some on ebay.

The first thing I do when getting a new bike is getting two spare keys cut , use them and put the original ones away in a safe place in our basement.
