Can a second keyed fob be programmed so I can have two fobs for my R18 bike ?

[kratedisease]

Has anyone programmed or had their dealer program a second key to their R18 ? I assume we all got only one key and I always like to have a spare just in case, but was wondering if TWO keys can be set up for the same bike. Please let me know, thanks !

I did that for my 2018 GoldWing. The sequence of steps via the dash was quite long, but worked.

I ordered a second key immediately the day of the delivery when I realised they gave just one.
No problem to have two Keys set on the same bike.
The job is done at the factory.
Just be ready to drop a few hundreds bucks...

How much did that set you back? ... If I may ask, I am thinking a backup would be a good thing ...

I paid around 300 euros but it was on 09/2020.
I used to let the keys on my top case lock when in my garage.
And what had to happen did happen...
I went riding with the keys on the lock.
I was happy to call my wife to bring me my spare.
I could finaly retrive the lost key.
And never let it on the lock again...
An opportunity to realise that the bike keeps running even with no key around.
Until you stop it
I now keep the plastic spare hiden on the bike too.

I probably should get a 2nd key. There is truth to the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
