nope I have not found the key yet. I am gonna put a call into yamaha and see if a new one can be made.. I really dont want to change a thing ~ Brandy
so yamaha says i will have to change the main switch assembly 
they said a locksmith doing a blind cut may cost more than a new switch with keys... guess i will just hold off some, and hope i find the key. I just looked again and I still cant find it... I checked his pockets, etc... waiting game it is

On the back of the key switch there is 2 wires coming off of it. If you follow those down a few inches you will see disconnects. Pull one of the disconnects apart(unless it's one piece), breaking the connectivity and try to start the machine. This should work and when you find the key you can plug the wire back in and back to normal.

So glad you found it.
guys I see that the Owens family is riding and I know that the pink and white blasty needs rear brakes if its 03+ I will give parts needed.If its 98-02 can somebody help these wonderful people out and kick out whatever is needed do it for durby
A rear brake was on its way when Mike had the accident. Brandy should have it along with a new shorty cable and the hardware to mount it.
I did get a package the Tuesday after he died, but I believe it was parts for our boys quad.. It is still sealed in the box.~ Brandy
