The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated signal acts as a password (which is different at each start-up) and tells the ECU that an "authorised" ignition key is being used to start up the engine. When the ECU recognises the signal, it enables engine start-up. Keep the keys separate, and store the tag (1) in a safe place.

The immobilizer system
For additional antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that
locks the engine automatically whenever the ignition switch
is turned off.
The grip of each ignition key contains an electronic device
that modulates the output signal from a special antenna in
the switch when the ignition is switched On. The modulated
signal acts as a password (which is different at each start-up)
and tells the ECU that an “authorised” ignition key is being
used to start up the engine. When the ECU recognises the
signal, it enables engine start-up.
