lost key need help bypassing key for honda 200m

[Sabinerat]

I got a 1984 200m from a friend that has been sitting up because they lost the key can anyone tell me how to bypass the key it has red,red/yellow, green and black wires

My old foreman had a toggle switch cause the key broke off in it and i didn't wana spend money on it. I had my neighbor rig me a toggle switch under the gas tank, really cool feature ;) . I'll talk to him and see if i can get you a schematic or directions or something. I think the wiring for the key should be the same. I'll contact you with what i get from him.

Clip the 2 wires coming out of the switch, and solder them together. Unless there are more wires or something :rolleyes: .

pound a screwdriver in it and turn it with a pliers

I had this same problem with my 83 200, I cut all 4 wires going to the ignition, and the bike ran. In order to get the headlight to work, I had to connect the red wire to the red/yellow wire. It should work fine then.

If you touch the other 2 wires together (green and black) the bike shuts off.

You can possible get another key. Go to your Local honda dealer and see what they can do for you.

call your local honda shop OR a locksmith...they can instruct you on what you'll need to do or what is required.....

i dont want to speak for the members, the moderators or the 3WW team, but I'm sure they would say your more than welcome to join this forum and participate..

all you have to do is unplug the kill switch or key switch and the bike will run. i had to do this to get my trike to run. as stated before, if you attach the black/white wire and the green wire it kills the trike. but if you just unplug the key it will run

the easiest solution is to remove the ign. switch, take it to honda dealer and they will cut you a key for it and also furnish you with the code for the key should you ever have to replace it again. hope this helps. l had to do that with my 85' Big Red and it was easy as it could be.

[Sabinerat]

The reason I don't want to get a key right now is I want to see If I can get it running without dishing out $20.00 for a KEY I'm on a tight budget so thanks to the people that were nice enough to help and not be rude like some others

[plkmonster2]

yup, just take the time and pull the ignition out and take it to honda. It is worth it. I got 2 keys for 7 bucks. Not bad cause they had the keys on hand.

[mudduck14843]

WAIT DO NOT CUT ANYTHING!!!!!
yes you can buy one for around 20 bucks...
i had one that i didn't get a key when i bought it.
i removed the ignition from the dash.
you see the 2 little clip things on the side?(kind of like a latch that would hold plugs together)

lift them away from the body of the ignition and remove the keyed/tumbler part of ign.
you can now use a screwdriver to operate your ign. switch.(the inside will turn around and around)
at least untill you buy a new switch anyway.

I just bought an 85 Big red 250 es. The guy lost the key so he hot wired it. I'd rather not keep kick starting it. He pulled out the key assembly and with it the connection to the wires. It looks like there is one large connector on the key assembly thats the typical pinch and then there may have been some wires soddered on it? Maybe I can get the key at a dealership but it it tough to figure out there the wires connect?
Sorry dark out right now so i can't go find the wires.

there should be some numbers on the key switch assembly. copy those down and take them to your local Honda dealer to get a replacement key for your particular ignition (order up 2 of them is my recommendation)
About the wiring hack job, lord only knows how it was done.
Either show us pics (hopefully not please) or get into the forums Honda manual complete with wiring diagrams and go one wire at a time.

I was thinking the same thing to buy a cut key. problem is they only made so many if your number isnt available its not an option. unplug the ignition and should run fine. and if you want lights use a jumper wire dont cut and splice you will regret it in the future.
