Title: Do you have 2 separate keys? Post by: masterh on July 02, 2009, 10:58:22 AM so I just bought monster 900.
It came with 2 sets of keys. (4 keys total) one key is for ignition and the other key is for the tank and rear. I thought this was strange. but the owner says some bikes are like that. I asked local ducati shop and he said it has one key for everything. have you seen a bike like this? Title: Re: Do you have 2 separate keys?

I would want to kno why the bike is like this.It came with 2 sets of keys. (4 keys total) one key is for ignition and the other key is for the tank and rear.

I would want to kno why the bike is like this. could be stolen bike... recovered/auction bike, fixed, and being sold legit... rebuild bike? frame/ignition sourced from different donors...

I did this on my last bike. Total BS that 'it came that way', though.
Title: Re: Do you have 2 separate keys? Post by: ScottRNelson on July 02, 2009, 12:55:45 PM I would take it to a good locksmith and have the locks modified so that they all match. It's not that hard to take all of the locks off, which should be easier for the locksmith than taking the whole bike in. It is probably easier to modify the seat lock and gas cap lock and leave the ignition alone. Those other two locks don't use as many of the tumblers as the ignition. In fact, any Ducati key seems to work to open the seat lock on an ST2. People have been known to rearrange all of the seats when a group of Ducati ST bikes are all parked together.
