Purchased a 2006 Sv650s blue with under 1k miles for 2300. This was from a local impound yard, the previous owner was drunk and ran from chp. Hid bike behind a tree and ran. Needless to say he was caught and bike was impounded. He let impound fees get to high and gave bike up and I purchased it. Bike is very clean not a leak anywhere, completely stock. My first problem now is I have no keys and dont know where to start. I can remove rear seat lock and possibly take to locksmith? Are all three locks keyed the same? It's killing me looking at it sit in my garage and not being able to start and here it run. All fluids are very clean and full. I will still do complete maintenance before actualy riding but I'd love to hear it run. Looking at prices I think I got a steal at 23000. Paperwork says 800 plus miles. Looks to have origional tires (which I will be replacing). I'd like to drain gas as I don't want to run it since it's been sitting for 6 months. And have no way to open tank without key. I tried unbolting cap but ofcourse no avail since its locked and no way to release it. The rear seat key was fairly easy to bypass and open by slipping a wire in and pulling cable outward. Then removed drivers seat and battery checked out ok at 12 volts.. Im inpatient I guess wanting to hear it run and make sure all is ok. I have seen complete ignition /cap sets on fleabay but removal of cap wthout origional key seems impossible. Any ideas I would really appriciate and any tips on what to look for problematic before starting would be apriciated. With this low of miles I doubt much could be wrong but who knows how previous owner took care or handled bike.
