The immobilizer system

1
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.
2
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.
