The key fit snug in my old 2009 Ranger 700XP, so I never worryed about it.
Not the case with my brand new 2015 Ranger 570 XP. The key fit was very loose. Loose enough I thought it could shake out while trailering the machine.
The fix was simple requiring about 14 Inches of OD 550 Parachute Cord, and a Green Mini Gear Clip (Mini Caribeaner).
Tie one end of the 550 Cord to the Key, and the other end to the Gear Clip. Snap the clip on the Rod under the steering column, and you are done. Now the key cannot shake loose and get lost, but you can still unhook the key from the machine when needed.
On the farm and at the Range I have multiple people using the side by side, and the key is almost never removed from the ignition.
This is not for everyone, but it might save the day for someone trailering to a site and having the key shake out, and get lost. Other ignitions may fit tighter, and not be an issue.
