Weedhole Posted January 7, 2010 #1 Posted January 7, 2010 I lost one of the Helmet Locks off of my 2003 Venture. Bought a new one from Yamaha and took it to a locksmith to get it re-keyed to match my other locks. It could not be done. Yamaha has replaced the old lock with one that has an opposite key shape. The old key will not even fit into the new lock. Does anyone have an older lock that they want to get rid of or do you know where I can find old stock?
BoomerCPO Posted January 7, 2010 #2 Posted January 7, 2010 I lost one of mine on the road. I do have the one I took off the scoot. PM yer snail addy to me and I'll send it to you. Boomer
Cougar Posted January 7, 2010 #3 Posted January 7, 2010 I have a couple laying around as well. Gots to find it though. if it doesnt work out with Bommer. Jeff
N3FOL Posted January 7, 2010 #4 Posted January 7, 2010 First of all, I hope you can find the correct replacement for your helmet lock. As far as the helmet lock is concerned, I've never really paid attention to the bolts that hold them in place. Is this a typical occurence? I hope not. I'll be checking those bolts, when I arrive from work.

As to the bolts that hold em on the scoot...Ya better clean em up and put some LocTite Blue on them....or you'll be replacing your helmet locks too! Boomer....who knows a new helmet lock from Yammy will run ya about $33...plus tax....plus having to wait for the Stealer to get the darn thing.
Weedhole Posted January 7, 2010 Author #6 Posted January 7, 2010 Before I lost it, I had noticed the other one being loose before. I know that when I lost it the lock was open. I am not sure if the bolt could have backed all the way out if it were closed. In any case, putting Loktite on the bolt is a good idea.

Yes the bolt can come out enough to lose everything even if the lock is closed. Boomer....who sez good riddance to parts not used anyway....those helmet lock bolt holes make fer a great place to mount more rear running/braking lights....and strobes too.
