Hi, can anyone please verify if the key code can be found under the gas cap?

I think I've lost my key...

edit - I should note, it's a 2010 VFR1200F

Look around cylinder where key inserts. Do you see word "HISS"?

#3

I see nothing that'd indicate HISS:

But I was finally able to pick the lock to the gas cap, and there is a three letter marking, I'm assuming that's the key code?

It's looking like I'll just need to get a locksmith to come out to cut a key.

Nevermind...

Not sure on this particular model, but gas-cap on many bikes have fewer tumblers. Not sure if that keycode cuts key for master that works with everything, or just gas-cap.

You can also go down to dealer with VIN and they'll cut you key as well.

Can’t tell you if that is the key code but I checked under my gas cap and my stamping is different. I didn’t find anything in service manual about key, but is huge and not searchable so low confidence...

Let us know if you find anything solid.
