GASGAS SM 700 and ES 700 Key Replacement

Quick answerThe SM 700 supermoto and ES 700 dual sport are the GASGAS models with a proper ignition key. The lock sits in front of the seat and doubles as the steering lock, and the key number is on the KEYCODECARD. We confirm from the VIN whether your key carries a chip, then cut the key at the bike.

GASGAS SM 700 and ES 700 key quick facts

The 2023 ES 700 owner's manual places the ignition and steering lock in front of the seat.
The lock has three states: ignition off, ignition on and steering locked. The ignition key can be removed in the off and steering locked positions.
In the steering locked position the ignition circuit is interrupted as well as the steering being locked.
The manuals for both bikes say the key number is found on the KEYCODECARD and is needed to order a spare key.
Both models are built on the single-cylinder platform of KTM's 690 SMC R and 690 Enduro R.

A lock where you would not look for it

Riders coming from street bikes look for the ignition up by the instruments. On the SM 700 and ES 700 it is down in front of the seat, which is where KTM puts it on the 690 SMC R and 690 Enduro R that these two are based on. The 2023 ES 700 manual describes three positions. Ignition off interrupts the ignition circuit. Ignition on closes it so the engine can be started. Steering locked interrupts the circuit and locks the steering, and the key can be taken out.

A key in that position stands up in front of the rider, where it is easy to knock. If yours no longer sits straight, replace it before it cracks.

The red one in a family of orange and white

GASGAS, KTM and Husqvarna built the same 690-class single in three colors, and the 700s arrived in US showrooms for the 2023 model year. Sharing a platform means the lock parts are familiar to anyone who works on the KTM and Husqvarna versions. It does not mean a key from one will turn another. And because some KTM street models use chipped keys while the 690 family manuals describe a plain one, we do not guess: the VIN tells us what your bike left the factory with.

Before you call about a lost key

A few minutes of looking can change the job.

Find the KEYCODECARD. It is supplied with the keys and usually ends up in the manual pouch or the dealer's sales folder.
Note the VIN from the steering head or your registration, and the model year.
Check whether the steering is locked. A bike locked at full lock is harder to roll out of a tight garage.
Keep any broken or bent key. The remains of a blade still carry the cuts.
Have photo ID and the registration or title to hand.

What the visit looks like

We come to the motorcycle, confirm ownership, and make a key to its ignition and steering lock, then check any other keyed lock on your bike with it. If the VIN shows that your year needs the key paired to the bike's electronics, we tell you before the visit whether that can be finished on site or belongs with a GASGAS dealer's diagnostic tool. A dealer can also order a genuine key from the number on your card, which suits owners who still have one working key and no deadline.

Where to find the key code

The SM 700 and ES 700 owner's manuals say the key number can be found on the KEYCODECARD, that you need it to order a spare key, and that the card should be kept in a safe place. It is not stamped anywhere convenient on the bike.

GASGAS SM 700 and ES 700 key FAQ

Where is the ignition on a GASGAS ES 700?

In front of the seat. The 2023 owner's manual describes a combined ignition and steering lock there with off, on and steering locked positions.

Does locking the steering on an SM 700 also switch the bike off?

Yes. In the steering locked position the manual says the ignition circuit is interrupted and the steering is locked, and the key can be removed.

Is the SM 700 key chipped?

We check the VIN before cutting. If you still have a key, tell us what it looks like and whether there is any warning lamp when it is refused.

Can a KTM 690 key be used on my GASGAS 700?

No. The bikes share a platform, but a key is cut for one set of locks only.
