The Immobilizer system
For improved anti-theft protection, the motorcycle is equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic system that inhibits engine operation 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 located under the seat 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.

Keys
The Owner receives a set of keys comprising:

• no. 1 active key (1).
• no. 1 passive key (2).

They contain the code used by the “Hands-free” system for the Key-On, in different modes.
The active key (1) is the one that is normally used: press button (A) to fully open the metal part, i.e. position (B).
Hold the depressed button (A) you can move the metal part and set it to the middle position (C); once in place, release button to lock.
The metal part returns inside the grip by pushing it in.
The key contains a battery that must be replaced when the low key battery “warning” is displayed as soon as the instrument panel is turned on.

The keys do not need to be reprogrammed after replacing the battery.
Remove the metal part of the battery.
Use a large-sized coin to pry open the shells of the plastic grip (2 euro coin) as shown in the figure.
