    Key code and more

    Just lost my key. Is the key code a 5 digit number with 4x1 after it? Where can I get blanks? I will also try calling around to some locksmiths.

    By the way .. the bike runs awesome above 3000 rpm except for minor popping when letting off on gas. Once again. A little choke gets rid of that.
