Honda Navi Key Replacement

Quick answerThe Navi is about as simple as a modern Honda gets, and so is its key: a plain cut key with no chip. Honda's 2022 and 2025 manuals show that one key working the ignition, a separate steering lock, the fuel tank lid, the luggage box and the seat. If you lose it, a new key is cut to the bike and you are riding again.

Honda Navi key quick facts

Honda's Navi manuals for 2022 and 2025 have no immobilizer section and describe a single Ignition Key/Steering Lock Key.
The steering lock is separate from the ignition: bars full left, key in the lock, half a turn clockwise.
The luggage box below the fuel tank locks with the ignition key and holds up to 6.6 pounds.
The fuel fill cap is under a locking fuel tank lid.
A key number plate comes with the keys.

Honda Navi key types by year

A carbureted 110 with nothing to program

The Navi pairs a scooter engine and automatic transmission with motorcycle styling. It has a carburetor with a choke lever, a fuel valve, and a kickstarter as well as the electric start. There is no fuel injection computer for a key to talk to, and Honda's manuals contain no mention of coded keys. A key that fits the lock is a key that starts the bike.

That also makes the Navi easy to steal for anyone who gets hold of a key, so if yours went missing along with anything showing your address, having the locks rekeyed is worth more than just cutting a replacement.

The five places the key goes

For a small bike the Navi has a generous number of locks, and Honda's manual shows the ignition key in every one.

Ignition switch
Steering lock: a separate lock; turn the bars fully left, insert the key and turn 180 degrees clockwise, jiggling the bars if it resists
Fuel tank lid: key clockwise to unlock the lid, then unscrew the cap; lock the lid again and remove the key
Luggage box: the storage bin in the space where an engine would sit on a motorcycle; key clockwise to unlock the lid
Seat lock: key clockwise, then pull the seat up and back; a document compartment is below the seat

Things to know about Navi locks

The luggage box has no drain hole. Honda's manual says to wipe out any water that collects, and it also says not to keep valuables or fragile things in it. Water that sits in the box sits around the lock too, so a box lid that is getting stiff should be dried out and looked at.

The seat locks automatically when it is pushed down, and the manual warns against shutting your key in the compartment underneath. A spare stashed under the seat is no help on the day the main key is lost, so keep it off the bike.

If you bought your Navi used and it came with a single key and no key number plate, get a second key cut now while there is still one to test against.

Lost the only key

We come to where the Navi is parked, check photo ID and the registration or title, and cut a key to the bike. With the steering locked the bike cannot be wheeled far, so doing it on the spot saves carrying it. The new key is tried in all five locks before we finish. If you would like the old key made useless, the locks can be rekeyed during the same visit so a found or stolen key no longer works.

Where to find the key code

On the key number plate supplied with the keys. Honda's manual says to record the number and keep it with the spare key in a safe place, and that with every key and the number lost, the ignition switch assembly will probably have to be removed to read it. On a used Navi, check the document compartment under the seat for a previous owner's record of it.

Honda Navi key FAQ

Does the Honda Navi have a chip key or immobilizer?

No. Honda's 2022 and 2025 manuals describe a plain key and have no immobilizer section.

Can the Navi be started without a key using the kickstarter?

No. The kickstarter turns the engine over, but the ignition still has to be switched on with the key.

Does the same key open the storage box and the gas lid?

Yes. Honda's manual shows the ignition key unlocking the luggage box lid, the fuel tank lid, the seat and the steering lock.

I bought a used Navi with one key. Should I worry?

It is worth getting a spare cut right away, and if you do not know who has the other original key, rekeying the locks is an inexpensive way to be sure nobody else can ride off on it.
