EWS Electronic

The motorcycle's electronic
circuitry monitors the data stored
in the ignition key through
a ring antenna incorporated
in the steering and ignition
lock. The engine management
system does not enable engine
starting until this key has been
recognized as "authorized" for
your motorcycle.
A further key attached to
the same ring as the igni-
tion key used to start the engine
could "irritate" the electronics,
in which case the enabling sig-
nal for starting is not issued. The
warning with the key symbol ap-
pears in the multifunction display.
