You will need the key number if you ever
have to replace a key. Store the plate in a
safe place.
To reproduce keys, bring all keys , key
number plate and motorcycle to your
Honda dealer.
Up to four keys can be registered with the
immobilizer system (HISS), including the
ones in hand.

If all keys are lost, the PGM-FI
unit/ ignition control module must be
replaced. To avoid this possibility we
recommend that if only one key is left,
you immediately have it reproduced to
ensure that a back-up is available.
These keys contain electronic circuits that
are activated by the immobilizer system
(HISS) . They will not work to start the
engine if the circuits are damaged.
• Do not drop the keys or set heavy
objects on them.
• Do not grind, drill or in any way alter the
original shape of the keys.
• Keep the keys away from magnetic
objects.
