GASGAS Motorcycle Key Replacement in Ventura & Santa Barbara

GASGAS key quick facts

The GASGAS SM 700 and ES 700 key number is on the KEYCODECARD, not on the bike.
On the GASGAS ES 700 the locked ignition position cuts the ignition circuit and locks the steering.
The GASGAS ES 350 and ES 500 dual sports have a keyed ignition.
The 2021 GASGAS EC 250 and EC 300 manual lists the key number and steering lock for EU models only.
GASGAS MC and EX models start with a button and have no ignition key.

Most GASGAS motorcycles are dirt bikes that never had an ignition key, so the first job is working out whether your bike has one at all. The street-legal models do. The SM 700 supermoto and ES 700 dual sport have an ignition lock that also locks the steering, and their owner's manuals say the key number is found on the KEYCODECARD, which you need to order a spare key. The ES 350 and ES 500 dual sports are keyed too: a GASGAS North America technical bulletin for the 2024 models tells owners to turn the key off whenever the bike is parked, stored or transported.

The competition range is different. The 2023 EX 250 manual lists a start button and has no key or lock section, and the 2021 EC 250 and EC 300 manual lists a key number and steering lock for EU models only. We cut keys and repair ignition, steering and seat locks for the keyed GASGAS models where the bike sits, anywhere in San Diego County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara or Goleta.

GASGAS keys by model

Each page covers the key and immobilizer by year, which locks share the key, and what a lost-key job involves for that model.

GASGAS immobilizer and chip keys

Most GASGAS models have no immobilizer because they have no ignition lock to begin with: the motocross, cross-country and enduro bikes start from a button on the handlebar. On the keyed street-legal models, the SM 700, ES 700, ES 350 and ES 500, whether the key carries a chip varies by model and year. GASGAS street bikes are built on KTM platforms, and some KTM street models do use chipped keys, so we confirm the exact key from your VIN when you call, before a key is ordered or cut.

What the manuals do confirm is the lock layout on the 700s. With the ignition lock in the locked position the ignition circuit is interrupted, the steering is locked and the key can be removed. The key number is not stamped somewhere convenient on the bike; it is on the KEYCODECARD supplied with it.

Lost all your GASGAS keys?

If every key to an SM 700, ES 700, ES 350 or ES 500 is gone, start by looking for the KEYCODECARD in the owner's manual pouch and sales paperwork, because the key number on it is what a spare is ordered from. Without the card, a key can be made to the lock at the bike. We cut the key on site and check it in the ignition and steering lock and any other keyed lock before we leave. If your model and year turns out to need a key paired to the bike's electronics, we will tell you before the visit whether that can be done on site or belongs with a GASGAS dealer.

Have photo ID and the registration or title ready, along with the VIN and the exact model and year. If the bike is an MC, EX or a US-market EC, check first whether it has a keyed lock at all. Many do not, and an aftermarket key switch fitted by a previous owner is a different job from a factory lock, so mention it when you call.

Where to find your GASGAS key code

On the SM 700 and ES 700 the owner's manual says the key number can be found on the KEYCODECARD, that you need the key number to order a spare key, and that the card should be kept in a safe place. Look in the manual pouch and the original sales paperwork. On EU-specification EC enduro models the manual says the key number for the steering lock is stamped onto the key itself.

GASGAS dealer or mobile locksmith?

A GASGAS dealer can order a genuine spare key from the key number on your KEYCODECARD, which works well when you still have the card and can wait for the part. With no card and no key, the bike usually has to get to the shop first. A mobile locksmith makes a key at the bike and deals with the ignition, steering and seat locks in the same visit. For anything that involves the bike's electronics rather than its locks, the dealer has the factory diagnostic tool.
