The Immobilizer system
For improved antitheft protection, the motorcycle is
equipped with an IMMOBILIZER, an electronic
system that inhibits engine operation whenever the
ignition switch is turned off.
Accommodated in the handgrip of each ignition key
is an electronic device that modulates an output
signal. When the ignition is turned on this signal is
generated by a special antenna incorporated in the
switch and changes every time.
The modulated signal represents the "password"
(which is changed at each start-up) by which the ECU
recognizes the ignition key. The ECU will only allow
the engine to start if it recognises this password.
