1. Key number tag
In addition to operating the ignition
switch/steering lock, the ignition key is
required to operate the seat lock and
fuel tank cap.
When the motorcycle is delivered
from the factory, two ignition keys
are supplied together with a small tag
bearing the key number. Make a note
of the key number and store the spare
key and key number tag in a safe place
away from the motorcycle.
There is a transponder within the
ignition keys to turn off the engine
immobilizer. To make sure the
immobilizer functions correctly, always
have only one of the ignition keys near
the ignition switch. Having two ignition
keys near the switch may interrupt the
signal between the transponder and
the engine immobilizer. In this situation
the engine immobilizer will remain active
until one of the ignition keys is removed.
Replacement keys must be 'paired' with
the motorcycle’s immobilizer.
Engine Immobilizer
The ignition switch housing acts as the
antenna for the engine immobilizer.
When the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position and the ignition key is
removed, the engine immobilizer is on
(see page 28). The engine immobilizer is
turned off when the ignition key is in
the ignition switch and it is turned to
the ON position.
