Hi Community,
I originally bought my 2022 Vitpilen 401 bike a year ago, it was bought second hand and I only got one key from the previous owner. Fast forward 2 months, I lose my key and can't find it anywhere.
So I call my dealership to get a replacement, they give me an ETA of 6 weeks, it's been more than 3 months now with no clear idea of when the key could arrive. I pester them constantly on updates, which you would assume a dealership would be on top of that since the key was fully paid for already.
I'm at a dead end with them now, I ask for an alternative, they want me to pay an additional $400, plus $200 in parts to replace my whole system. Compared to my $80 that I had paid initially for the key.
The way I see it, this has been a totally unprofessional interaction on the dealer's end.
Now I am asking the community to see if anyone has any idea on how to change the lock system, I'm considering paying the extra $ for the lock system and doing it myself. However, I purchased a copy of the service manual but there is no direction / steps on how to switch the 3 components without having the key.
Appreciate the help!
