Even without code, a good locksmith can take cylinders out of lock and make a key from that. Similar to this video. I had this done on my original VF500F 25-years ago when one and only key I had finally wore out.

Just a note that won't help this lady out. If you buy a used motorcycle and are presented with only one key. The first thing you do is take that key with two or three O.E.M. blanks (they ain't cheap) and have two or three keys cut. My 3 blanks cost me $30.00 + and cutting them cost $6.50. Use only your freshly cut keys and put the O.E.M. key you got with the bike away in a safe place. Don't use the key you got with your bike to prevent further wear and keep it as a "master" if you need a new key in the future. "A stitch in time saves nine.
