How To Pick A Motorcycle Lock

How To Pick A Motorcycle Lock - How do you get your seat open without your key? Can't get your gas cap open because you lost your key? Locked your key in your saddlebag or trunk? All you need is a good pick set and a little skill to pop that lock. Sorry to ruin your delusions of any security on a motorcycle but none of the locks are in any way difficult to open, even the ignition. A good set I've had good luck with is below.

how i google that two tools what you use? i dont find it

[@jimsmusic3906]

Tool link not correct

[@leondouglas4887]

I realize this is an older video - but thankfully you posted it! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this information. I was about to drill my cap out until I saw your video. I ordered a set of pics and a new locking gas cap from AMAZON - which cost me a total of about $40. After watching your video, it took me about 5 minutes to pick the lock and I was able to save the cap In case I find the key. Thank you soooooooo much!

[@rroadattack4091]

Every day a new motorcycle for free, thank you! 🤣

[@peppermaster1189]

You are somewhat correct about the tension tool. It is used to simulate the torque of the key, but more important. It is used to keep tension on the pins inside the cylinder. When you are picking the lock. Tension is needed to help keep the position of the pins when you find the shear line. This allows the pin to hold its position while you move on to the other pins and get them to the shearing line. If you didn’t have tension on the cylinder you would pick the pins and the would be pushed back into the lock position every time you tried to get them to the shearing line. So you would be pushing them up past the shearing line and the springs would push them back down. So having tension on the cylinder catches the pins as soon as they try to move past the shearing line. And holds them there till all the pins have been caught.

[@OsceolaLongBeard]

I did this exact method on my ignition on a 2019 zx10 and it started right up! Thanks for the video!

[@alexbeam7470]

Hell yeah! Watched your video, made a rake and tension bar from a set of feeler gauges and a dremel w/cutoff disc. Opened with one swipe of the rake, start to finish in 30 min including video! Thanks!

[@Old-dog-jams]

Thanks for the info. Had a customer drop a gas tank off to paint . He brought it full of gas and obviously the locking cap on it. Took me 15 seconds to get the cap off with your help.

[@user-pg9jg2xe4n]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed! Some of these techniques were difficult with gloves and ski mask on in the dark but figured it out. Can you do a video about removing VIN’s now? For unrelated reasons.

[@liammullan9571]

Omg😂

[@xxskizzumxx]

Great tutorial, love the quality. Thanks a bunch. Was given a 650r with no keys and no title. Ignition bypass was easy enough but I completely forgot about gas cap.

[@pnw_wheelies878]

Hey I have an 07 650r and I lost my keys, do you have any idea where the key code is located on the bike?

[@robertsanches9161]

Worked perfectly! After getting the cylinder to start turning, I had placed the key back in. Using a thin enough flat-tip screwdriver placed next to the key slot, I used a pair of pliers to work them back and forth. Finally, I saw the cap rise. I almost had to pry it open. What was holding it from turning and opening was all the corrosion between the cap and the tank. Thank you SO much for sharing your experience!

[@TheMontaseri]

Just subscribed, you explain things with the right level of specificity and abstractions. It is an art. I used to teach. Good job.

[@rogerwalby4136]

Very interesting,I buy a lot of impounded bikes ,they never come with keys,this will help me,I shall buy some lock rakes and try it Thank you

[@bandit446484]

Thanks. I think I’ll get a GPS lock for the Tenere instead of putting in in my top or side cases.

[@gaspargarcia5836]

Excelente and informative

[@alisdairolavhorgen2173]

That was interesting. I may have to try this. Key won't turn in my gas tank cap. Lubricating hasn't helped so far. Thank you 😊

[@charliedflea]

Thanks for this vid, got my mates ignition out and on me table lol it's still in the steering lock position hopefully gonna have a go at that tomorro! If I can get the barrel out I can make a new key for him I think. If not he will just have to get new lock set! Don't suppose you know if I make a key from the ignition barrel will it open the tank and the seat? I know it doesn't work the other way round as they use less wafers. Thank you again great vid

[@dvango7090]

Thanks man! Worked like a charm!

[@bob75654]

The equipment you used was not in the link. Would you be willing to add them

[@tartgreenapple]

LOVE the high definition of this video, a real treat! P.S. What kind of camera do you use?

[@dgmenace73]

Thnx.....helped me open my locked tank that lost key

[@akuhazventures686]

what camera was used, the quality is amazing

[@gordonruthpanther1259]

Thanks. I've sold a bike, handed over all the keys, kept the topbox to use on the next bike... and now realembered that the topbox key was coded to the bike key - DOH!!! Ah... well, let's have a go at this then! Attempting to crack the topbox will make me feel like Jason Bourne breaking into a top security super-spy manufacturing factory. Well there's no way I'm ever going to run half a mile flat out at this altitude waiting for my hands to start shaking, anyway. Maybe half a fathom...

[@jilleybeans3337]

When I click the link I don't see that tool set. I've looked on amazon but a lot of the reviews for pick kits say they are flimsy or break. I don't have original keys to my bike and need to open the helmet lock. Thanks for your video!

[@nicholasbusch113]

I am having trouble locking and unlocking forks with key i am.pushing down too what's the trick on the bike

[@PaulDale1957]

Do you have the correct amazon link to the lock pick set you suggest? That link is incorrect.It's a redirect to your website, which is not Amazon. Thanks.

[@COMB0RICO]

Wow. This was an eye-opener.

[@donetayknibb1567]

Does this work for a Honda cbr 250 ? I miss place my gas tank key

[@bestofboxingtalk6864]

Wgat site is it to get the tools to.pick the gas cap lock?

[@lamostra6447]

Does this work the same way on a 2002 vtx

[@ThaKenMan]

Damn and now I'm going to be paranoid when leaving my bike somewhere. But this is good to know in case I lock my keys in the saddle bags

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Don't be paranoid, just keep in mind that all a lock is ever for us to stop causal thieves and slow down professional theives. This is always true, regardless of the lock. My advice is to always park in the open, and never hide your bike. Thieves love it when you make it easy for them to steal your bike without being seen. Remember. Thieves know how to find places a bike can be hidden. If the bike is hidden, so is the thief when he's stealing the bike. So always park in the open where many people and hopefully cameras can see the bike. If you use an external lock of any sort, like bike lock chains or cables, make sure it doesn't rest on the ground or they can smash it open easily.

[@estebanortiz6652]

Lost my 2004 Yamaha vetar how can I get a new one?

Did you not say you would put the lock pic set link down below? I dont see it? Thanks

[@kellyj5389]

Cool info

[@dogsnmotorcycles]

Make a copy of your key, cut off the plastic to make it thin, carry it in your wallet, or someplace. Learned that one the hard way, so never again...

[@alexbeam7470]

I think I'll make a key or two into zipper pulls for jacket

Would you give us a link or name of the tool.

[@AfroCycle]

Is there a link to the lock pick kit,

[@AntaresSQ01]

Holy shit thank you so much for this, I lost my only key to my bike and this saved me from getting a £200 lockset and instead just get the keycode on my seat and make a new key for it

[@AntaresSQ01]

For the time being tho I'm running with the ignition always ON and took the lock out of my seat, I use the main fuse to turn the bike on and off, it's a really shifty solution but at least i don't have to cycle 25 miles to work :P

[@mackenzierynebagtong8549]

Please duplicate your keys in case you lost one.

[@arcticgummibear4500]

Where did you buy your rake and tensioner?

[@danieltate5685]

Where can I find the kit you're using ?

[@375billy]

I always have two bike keys on me. Does make me think about a disc brake or different lock though. Thank you for making me not to want to keep anything valuable in my fjr trunk.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Those are no more secure, just a different technique.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Don't waste you're money, anybody who wants your bike bad enough to pick locks can pick that lock too. Also locking the front wheel just means they shove a dolly under the wheel before loading it into their van, truck, or trailer. Pro thieves only ever ride away in the bike is you make it super easy, like leaving the keys in the ignition

quick question. I am trying to pick a 2002 Honda RC51 for a friend that lost a key. I have gotten it twice (on the new set of ignition components he bought (but I would rather pick the lock on the bike and take the key code to a locksmith). The thing is I battled this lock for a long time, then I got it twice when I flipped the pick around and treated it like a dual sided wafer lock. I still am struggling tho-- is there a chance it is double sided? Can you pick a wafer lock from both sides?

[@w3w3w3]

.... "for a friend" =D

[@jscmoto46]

No set in your Amazon link?

[@reddog907]

Triumph has a chip embedded in the key, so if you pick the lock the bike won’t start without the key. I guess you would say that is level two, the rest of the bike I can see this working quite well.

[@dawgystylez]

Rob depends on the year of triumph I seen a dude stick his flathead behind the ignition it broke off on the bottom and vrooom

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

That chip is just security theater to get you spending money on that bike instead of another. In reality, a professional thief can easily just shove a dolly under the front wheel if the steering is locked, and roll the bike into a van, pickup truck, v or trailer, and deal with any security you have on the bike in the luxury of their Faraday cage back at the shop chop shop. Always park in view of cameras if possible to deter theives because they don't want to be identified or witnessed

[@24KTSRACING]

How much more difficult is it to pick a “zadi sidewinder lock” most common in Europe on vw, Mercedes, Ducati... can’t seem to get it. Think it’s different than this method.

[@armonihoward6948]

You didn't put a link for the lock set

[@lodwill4007]

If you can afford a lock set. Just buy the new gas and ignition kit $25

[@Dano831]

Another great video...the title made me think it was a buyer's guide for motorcycle locks...ie which one to pick...lol.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Working in security, both as a guard now and as a physical penetration tester (the latter is where you get paid to break into your client's building and mess with their security) I assumed he meant pick as in exactly what he shows in the video, especially since I recognized the tools in the thumbnail

[@robertblair8926]

No link to lock set

[@afatherofmany]

Thanks!!!!

[@keithhall4883]

I just won a auction on Copart for a SUZUKI DL650 but it has no keys. Has the lock got a number on it , so I can order a new key

no you need a locksmith to measure it

Funny Thing Is, Is You Don't Need A Key To Take A Bike, Just A Piece Of Wire In The Ignition Wire Harness Connector! There Is Actually A Video On KZbin About It!

[@vincentbrugetti7254]

Yeah that will start it. BUT, , handle bars usually r locked, So you could only do tight counterclockwise circles. *Unless maybe ur a god at wheelies. . . 🤨😤

[@jn3536]

I dont see the tools that you said you have an amazon link to listed. The link for: "TWO recommended products" just shows an overview page of different products but nothing specific.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

They are not available anymore. That’s the one thing I hate about amazon you never know how long anything will be around or what the price will be at any given moment.

[@jayk5825]

Noting in your comments immediately below your video that the picks are no longer available would be helpful for many I would assume. I spent a small amount of time searching for a comment that confirmed the picks are no longer available through Amazon. Perhaps you could provide the manufacturer's name of the quality picks you recommend.

[@BelmontClan]

@@jayk5825 well he's only using two basic tools, but you can find a basic set on Amazon for around $10 to $20 or go to wish.com or order them from budk.com mostly the name is under secure pro it's a spring steel and includes the double ball pick he is using in the video. Most of the information he is saying in the video is correct you could have also used a set of auto jiggler keys to both open the locks and likewise start the bike, auto jiggler keys are commonly called try out keys. They require no real skill to use and anyone can use them and open a door in a few minutes. Also sold on Amazon with an average cost of $10 but can be found on wish.com for $3 at the lowest.

I need that tool in case I lock my keys in my fuel tank✌🏼😳😂

I bring an extra set of keys with me at all times.

[@xxskizzumxx]

Well aren't you just awesome. There's other reasons you may need to do this, in my case I was given a track bike with no keys. Nonetheless, we are all very excited to hear that YOU are so well put together that none of this information applies to you.........but, I would love to hear wtf you are watching and commenting on this video for then. Simply to tell the world you carry extra keys?

[@pascoe65]

100 mm fuller gauge ? only one tool needed .

[@jerryjensen9500]

I was told by a locksmith that we must be licensed to carry lock pic tools. Maybe I misunderstood??

[@TwoWheelObsession]

State laws vary but in the vast majority there are no regulations.

[@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures]

If you happen to be in possession of those tools and intend to use, or allow them to be used, to commit a burglary or trespass, Florida has a special statute called Possession of burglary tools found under 810.06 in statutes. Otherwise you’d be fine. Just don’t carry a handcuff key because then you’ve got some ‘splaining to do.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Yeah I'm not a shitbag so I have nothing to worry about LOL

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Depends on the jurisdiction... Possession of lock picking tools is so illegal in Virginia that even locksmiths tend to not carry them. In other areas, there's no law whatsoever, and everything in between

[@clayc8115]

Thanks for teaching the assholes that stole my bike last night how to do this.

[@joshuacruz4046]

Cant you just unscrew the Allen bolts ????

[@joshuacruz4046]

Wait nvm just saw the video

[@stanallen1072]

No. The cap locks inside the filler rim. The hex screws just hold the cap when it's open.

[@brucebrown6597]

This would definitely not work on a newer BMW.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

If you mean central slot keys, yes they are also easily picked. GIVI locks also use those. If you mean transponder keys, those only protect the ignition.

[@fillecool2]

Hah! Of course it would.

[@McGroober97]

My dumbass left my keys (except my bike keys) in my saddle bag and even the locksmith could get it although they did say they only do comercial locks

[@CanonMatters2Me]

So, if I see someone picking a lock or seat from a bike, assume they are the owner, wave, and don’t call the police.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

No, the photos off license plate and person if you can, but do so in a way they went notice, and call the police. If they are the owner, the police will be able to tell from registration and the ID of the person.

[@gordonruthpanther1259]

Ha ha. But in seriousness - if I see someone picking a lock on a bike (or car) or moving it, alarm blaring, etc., or otherwise acting suspiciously, I'd go and speak to them. If they're genuine, they won't take offence (would you, in that situation - if someone showed they were looking out for your bike?) - it's easy enough to tell from a short conversation whether someone in that situation is genuine or not. Low lives scumbags will quickly leave the scene. If I thought there was some risk to me (that they are thieving scumbags and might come at me), I'd speak from a bit of a distance. If I then thought it suspicious I'd begin shouting for help if need be, drawing attention to us (and be ready to move away if need be - crime stopped). Taking video footage or photos and calling the police ("crime in progress") and other details could be a go-er in some situations or for more vulnerable people too, etc. And although laws on citizen's arrest vary from country to country, in the UK, if there's a serious crime in progress (or reasonable on the evidence to believe that to be the case), that's an option too. Have some fun - and chat to the ladies afterwards # ;) [sadly, when I've interceded with car botherers, the offenders have always cleared out]. It's all so obvious to say out loud - but it does surprise me how few people would, do or have got stuck into any 'situation' in any capacity. I've seen staged bike thefts done by bike mags - 'stealing' bikes, alarm blaring, from city centres. In the photos you see people of all ages, and some in groups, gawping from a distance... nobody goes up and challenges, or asks. Ok, two burly guys doing it - but so what? Are they going to chase someone round the city centre mid-bike-jack? I don't think so! One person took down the van's plate (it would be fake - so pointless); another phoned the police (great, but they'll be long gone). A hundred people or more sat and watched like zombies and did **** all. Amazing. Makes me wonder whether most folk have got anything between their ears or their legs. Whereas if one person takes ownership, we can save someone a very long, painful and frustrating few weeks. We should all always be keeping our eyes open and, when we see something, we should do something - what that is depends on the person, the case, the location. But we shouldn't be like those 100+ people who all do precisely nothing. Cos next time, it could be their (my, your) property getting jacked by some worthless blight on society!
