Just wot he said ^^^^^^

The two black ones (non Yam) are useless. You need a spare with the little transducer inside it, and it needs to be programmed in too by using the red one.

Two options, try a locksmith shop, they may have the correct key blank (with the chip) and can cut you a set. You'll then either have to program it yourself (I posted instructions earlier this week) or take a trip to the dealer.

Or, give the dealer your key number and have them order in a Yamaha key, then get it programmed when you go in to collect your new key.

Personally, I would be a little suspicious of buying a bike without the OE keys. I would certainly ask some questions as to why the originals were missing, and where they might be...... So, I would take the more expensive option of getting a popper Yamaha key ordered, but the locksmith option should work just as well, and maybe cheaper.
