Procedure to disable immobilizer engine block through throttle twistgrip 1) Turn the key to ON and fully open throttle. Keep it open. The EOBD warning light turns off after a pre-set time of 8 seconds. 2) Release the throttle as soon as the EOBD warning light turns off. 3) The EOBD pilot light will flash. Now enter the electronic release code shown on the CODE CARD given to the customer at the time of consignment of the motorcycle by the dealer. 4) Count a number of flashes of the EOBD light (8, fig. 4) equivalent to the first number of the secret code. Open full throttle and keep the position for 2 seconds, then release. In this way the input of one figure is acknowledged, EOBD pilot light comes on and stays on for 4 seconds. Repeat the operation until you have entered the final digit. If you fail to perform any operation with the throttle the EOBD light will flash 20 times and then illuminate steadily to inform you that the procedure must be repeated from step 1. 5) When you release the throttle, if the code was inserted in the correct way, you can have two situations, A or B: A) the EOBD light starts flashing to indicate that engine is enabled. The light switches off after 4 seconds, or if engine speed exceeds the threshold value of 1000 rpm. B) the CODE (12, fig. 4) light flashes until engine speed exceeds 1000 rpm or until the vehicle is restarted. 6) Should the code NOT be entered correctly the EOBD and CODE lights remain lit and the procedure can be repeated starting from step 2 for as many times as necessary. Notes Should the throttle twistgrip be released before the set time, the warning light turns on again. It is then necessary to bring the key to OFF and restart the procedure from point (1). E 23
