Removing Seat

[jscgdunn]

Yes, I too have found a fair amount of interchangeability in the Yamahas we have here.

I haven't any other keys. I managed to get the seat lock off and have also removed the ignition but there are no numbers in sight

I have used them for a spare FJ key which they did from photo. They might be able to help you work out the key code from the ignition. Failing that, a new/used ignition switch with keys (ebay) shouldn't break the bank too much.

Take the seat lock to a locksmith, they can reverse make a key from the cylinder in the lock. Then it should also match your ignition. Make sure the smith deals with automotive style locks, the FJ key is double sided and quite simple as modern automobile locks go.  I deal with locksmiths all the time, what they can do or teach you could scare you. Locks really only keep honest people honest.

Ok, the seat lock broke so now need to find a replacement. I did manage to get the ignition off and a key is being made over the weekend. My question is, is there any other bike I can use the seat lock  from?

I have not seen any that will interchage.  Those locks are cheap on e bay.  Your locksmith can install new slides in the tumbler to match your ignition.
