Wondering if anyone has advice on programing a spare key for my 696.  Should I try it myself, or take it to to dealer?  Anyone know a locksmith that can do that fancy cutting?  I'm in West LA.  BH Ducati is the closest dealer to me, just wondering if there are any opinions about them.  Thanks!

It'll take some searching, but some locksmiths can cut that style of key.
Ask at a BMW car dealer, they use a similar key.

Programming the key isn't hard, IIRC there's a FAQ or a thread somewhere here.

Do you have a blank?

I'll check around and find a cutter.

BMW's have the same 'side-cut' style keys.

The indie BMW shop around the corner gets replacement keys direct from BMW.
No love there, then.

The guy there said Benz and Porsche use the same style of key.

Darn!  The motorcyclekeys.com guy says no dice as well!  Beverly Hills sent me to Santa Monica Lock & Key, they had all the latest cutters there, and they couldn't help.  Gotta be someone out there!  Maybe this is a job for Duc USA?  I really appreciate the help!!

I've never done it before, but my suggestion would be to go through a dealership.  I'm sure they can at least point you in the right direction.  Maybe you can call one of the service managers at a local shop, too.  Allan at Spectrum is pretty helpful: 949-951-1097

Why didn't you get the extra key that comes with your 696?  Mine came with two keys and a red card.

I live in the west side so BH is my dealer, they gave me a referral that didn't pan out.  I bought the bike used, only came with one key, luckily I got the card as well.  I'll try Allan.

I've heard about a locksmith in Lake Forest that does these keys, $100 and no guarantee it will work. If you are still in need, I'll look them up and pass along the name...
