My key is pretty gouged up and needs replaced and I don't feel like running it without replacing it. I checked ACE and they didn't have anything in metric and just had standard american crap. Can't order from Vito's because you need to have a $10 minimum order, and Rocky Mountain charges $7.00 just to ship the POS via UPS.....I mean god damn.....just put it in an envelope and and put a stamp on. 8-|

I'll probably check out Lowe's Sunday and see what they have otherwise I'm pretty SOL on riding the Blaster this weekend.
 
how about a lawn mower service place? or just order 2 from vitos that way you got an extra
 
I bought a stupid american standard sized one and just spent the past 2 hours grinding it down to match OEM specs......what ridiculously sensitive tolerances. It seems to fit fairly well, although I'd like it to be a tid bit snugger. I'll have to give it a try and see how it does.

Like an auto zone?

I took some measurements and it seems like it's a 12mm x 3mm........I'm guessing exactly, but the tolerances are super fine. Alongside my flywheel holder, my digital mic has just so happened to disappear as well. 8-|

Worst case scenario, I can swing by the stealership after work and get a few. I haven't been back there in years so it should be interesting to see what that place looks like. Last time I was there was when I got my seat cover put on and got a "2nd opinion" on the jetting when I was having issues with it(my own dumbassery). I remember I grabbed some lunch and came back and the guy was like "Wow man, that thing is really damn fast for a little Blaster".........and that's back when it was running a lot slower. :D I was pretty modest and replied with a "Yeaaaa it's a fun little quad to bomb around on". B)
 
i get my keys from the stealership... all of a $1.49 each oem zuki keys and i know damn well a lt250r is wayy harder to gert common items for than a blaster.. just so happens the zuki is also a 3mm key
