Any good tips on replacing the ignition switch on a 01 drz 400s? Mines unusable cause the bike catapulted off my trailer and got dragged a few feet when one of the tiedowns broke.

Got everything that got damaged replaced and am now down to the ignition switch. Its really unusable because the top and bottom broke off. I need a new one but want to keep using the original key cause of the other things it unlocks.

I'd like to get a used one and swap the cylinder from my original if thats possible. Or, since I'm the original owner, I have the little black tag that came on the keychain, numbers: CA123..... Is it possible to have one sent out that uses my original key?

If you want to use your original key, then I would check with the dealer. Or you can look on ebay for a used one that comes with the keys. The latter would probably be cheaper. Might even be able to talk to a lock smith to see if he can re-key a used one that didn't come with the original keys.

Thanks for those tips. A new one from suzuki online is around 70$. I want to make damn sure I can have a locksmith mod it to use my original key and it looks like they aren't made to be taken apart without damaging the housing.
