Benelli TRK502 and TRK502X key quick facts
- The TRK502 manual says the bike is supplied with keys for opening the fuel cap, the steering lock, the ignition and opening the seat.
- The seat lock releases the passenger seat: insert the key, turn it clockwise, lift the front of the seat and pull it forward.
- The rider seat comes off only after the passenger seat, by undoing its screws.
- The owner's tool kit is under the passenger seat; the battery and the fuse boxes are under the rider seat.
- The fuel cap is under a lock cover and is closed by pushing it into place with the key in the lock, then turning the key counterclockwise.

A seat lock that opens in two stages
On most bikes the key releases the seat and that is the end of it. The TRK502 is built in layers. The seat lock, on the left side of the bike, releases only the passenger seat: the key goes in, turns clockwise, and the front of the passenger seat lifts and pulls forward. With that out of the way you can reach the screws that hold the rider seat, and the rider seat comes off second.
The manual spreads the bike's service items across both spaces. The tool bag is under the passenger seat. The battery, the fuse boxes, the main fuse and the fuel injection fuse are under the rider seat. So a flat battery on a TRK502 means key, passenger seat, screws, rider seat, in that order. Without a key that works the seat lock, nothing behind it can be reached the normal way.

Ignition, steering lock and fuel cap
The remaining locks follow the pattern of Benelli's other 500 twins. The ignition switch includes the steering lock, and the manual's tips are the familiar ones: move the handlebar slightly while turning the key to help the lock engage, and try the bars afterwards to make sure the steering is really locked.
The fuel cap is covered. Open the lock cover, insert the key and turn it clockwise to release the cap. To close, push the cap into position with the key still in the lock, turn the key counterclockwise to its original position, remove it and close the cover. The manual adds a warning to make sure the cap is properly closed, since leaking fuel is a fire hazard. The auxiliary USB jack, incidentally, only works with the key turned on.
Top box and panniers
If your TRK has a top box and panniers, those are where key confusion starts. Luggage fitted as an accessory has its own locks and normally its own keys, so one motorcycle can end up with two or three different keys. If you have lost the bike key but still have the luggage key, or the other way round, say which. They are separate jobs, and luggage locks can often be matched or replaced so that fewer keys are needed.
Lost keys on a touring bike
When the key goes missing on a trip, the two pressing problems are fuel and luggage, because both are locked. Tell us how much fuel is in the tank and whether your documents are inside a locked case. At the bike, we check photo ID and the registration or title, make a key from the locks, and try it in the ignition, the steering lock, the fuel cap and the passenger seat lock. If the registration is locked in the luggage, we can work out with you how to confirm ownership before any lock is opened.
Where to find the key code
The US TRK502 manual lists what the keys are for and how to care for them but has no key number page or key tag. Check the key itself and the dealer's paperwork for a number. If none is found, a key is made from the bike's locks.
What to have ready
Have this ready when you call or text
- Year, make and model of the bike
- Where the bike is parked
- Whether you have any working key, a broken key or a key code
- Photo ID and registration or title (we verify ownership before making a key)
Benelli TRK502 and TRK502X key FAQ
Does one key open everything on a TRK502?
On the bike itself, yes: the fuel cap, steering lock, ignition and seat lock. Accessory top boxes and panniers usually have their own keys unless they were matched to the bike.
How do I get to the battery on a TRK502X?
Unlock and remove the passenger seat with the key, then undo the screws and remove the rider seat. The battery and fuse boxes are under the rider seat.
Is the TRK502X key different from the TRK502 key?
No. One US owner's manual covers both versions with the same key arrangement. Each key is still cut to its own bike.
Does the Benelli TRK502 have an immobilizer?
The US owner's manual describes a mechanical key and makes no mention of an immobilizer, code card or fob.
