I have a 2011 Yamaha XT 225 Serow, will this method work for that year?

Key Tip: Store your key code separately from your keys
Cost & Options
You can buy fobs online, but: 1) Must match your exact model/year 2) Many still require professional programming 3) Cheap knockoffs may not work reliably. Some eBay/Amazon sellers offer programming instructions for DIY-friendly models.

Key Tip: Replace key fob batteries every 1-2 years as preventative maintenance
