Triumph Daytona 675, 660 and Moto2 765 Key Replacement

Quick answerDaytona keys split into two kinds. The Daytona 675 built through the 2012 model year, including the first 675 R, uses a plain key with no engine immobiliser. The redesigned 675 and 675 R from 2013 have an immobiliser, and the Daytona Moto2 765 and Daytona 660 are transponder-key bikes too. Find out which you have before ordering a key, because one kind is cut only and the other has to be paired to the bike.

Triumph Daytona 675, 660 and Moto2 765 key quick facts

The early Daytona 675 handbook lists two keys and a number tag, and says the key also works the seat lock and fuel tank cap.
That early handbook has no engine immobiliser section; its alarm status light is for an accessory alarm.
Triumph's parts catalogue lists only plain keys for the 2009 to 2012 Daytona 675, 675 SE and 675 R, and immobiliser keys with an immobiliser control unit from VIN 564948, the 2013 model year.
The 2013-on handbook, shared with the Street Triple, adds an alarm and immobiliser indicator light and an engine immobiliser section.
The Daytona Moto2 765 handbook says a transponder in the key turns off the immobiliser and that replacement keys must be paired.
Triumph's 2024 pre-delivery bulletin for the Daytona 660 has the dealer check the immobiliser module and confirm the bike starts with each key.

How to tell which Daytona 675 key you have

The dividing line is the 2013 redesign. Triumph's parts catalogue puts it at VIN 564948: bikes before that number take a plain key, and bikes from it on take an immobiliser key. That means a 2011 or 2012 Daytona 675 R is a plain-key bike even though the later R is not. Titles sometimes lag the build date, so two quick checks on the bike help. Switch the ignition off and look at the instruments: an immobiliser-equipped bike has an indicator that flashes with the ignition off, which Triumph's later handbook calls the alarm and immobiliser indicator light. And if a plain copied key opens the seat and turns the ignition but the engine will not fire, the bike is reading a transponder.

If you are not sure, send us the VIN and a photo of the key and the dash. We would sooner work it out before the visit than at the kerb.

Locks the key works on a 675

On the plain-key bikes, Triumph's handbook says that besides the ignition switch and steering lock, the key is required for the seat lock and the fuel tank cap. The ignition is a four-position switch: OFF, ON, LOCK and P, with the key removable in all but ON. The 2013-on handbook keeps separate sections for the seat lock and fuel tank cap as well. We try the new key in the seat lock and fuel cap as well as the ignition.

Daytona Moto2 765 and Daytona 660

The Moto2 765 was a numbered limited run. Its handbook describes two transponder keys with a key number tag, and lists the key as operating the ignition and steering lock and the fuel tank cap. Given how few were made, we treat the original lock set on one of these as something to keep intact.

The Daytona 660 is the current bike. Triumph's commissioning bulletin for it, issued in March 2024, has the dealer check the immobiliser control module for stored faults and then confirm that the motorcycle powers on and starts with each key. That is a chip key system, in line with the Trident 660 it is based on.

Track bikes and lost keys

A lot of Daytonas have done track days, and some have had the ignition switch relocated, the steering lock removed or a keyless race harness fitted. If yours has been converted in any way, describe what was done. For a standard road bike, the visit is straightforward: we confirm ownership with photo ID and the registration or title, cut a key from the number tag or from a lock, and on immobiliser bikes pair the transponder so the engine runs.

Where to find the key code

Triumph supplies a small key number tag with the two keys. The handbooks say to note the number and keep the tag with the spare key away from the motorcycle. Without it, the key is originated from the ignition, seat lock or fuel cap.

Triumph Daytona 675, 660 and Moto2 765 key FAQ

Does a 2006 Daytona 675 have an immobiliser?

No. The first Daytona 675 handbook describes a plain key and no engine immobiliser, and Triumph's parts catalogue lists plain keys through the 2012 model year. A previous owner may have added an alarm, so tell us if the bike has a fob or a flashing light.

Is the Daytona 675 R key different from the early 675 key?

It depends on the year. The 2011 and 2012 Daytona 675 R shares the plain key of the standard bike. The redesigned 675 R from 2013 has an engine immobiliser, so its key carries a transponder that must be paired.

Does the Daytona 660 use a smart key?

No. It uses an ignition key with a transponder. Triumph's delivery bulletin has the dealer confirm the bike starts with each key.

My race-prepped Daytona has no ignition lock. Can you still help?

Often, yes, but it depends on what was changed. Tell us whether the original switch and immobiliser are still on the bike.
