Immobiliser system and key
 

Dear friends,

When I bought my XTR, seller gave me only one key and told me he hadn't got spare key from old seller. That's OK.

Today, i tried to knıw if my motorcycle has immobiliser on or off. I installed key and turn on, then released key and put it my pocket, last pressed start button. Ta daa!! Engine worked!

I have two question, first, does this mean my bike has cancelled immobiliser? If yes, I can copy key easily.

Second is, is it normal i can release key when ignition is on and motorcycle is running?

What do you reccommend to do to me?

Any idea?

Sounds like the key is worn to me..shouldnt come out with the engine running. Hopefully its not the barrel too.

Thank you for your response,

what do you think about immobiliser system? In you opinion, is it on or off?

Mine has a non factory alarm fitted...I have a dedicated alarm fob that arms/disarms the alarm/imobiliser.

So whilst the key does operate the on/off ignition lock etc it has nothing to do with the alarm system.

An immobilizer emulator is available from china. It replaces the immobilzer card. If this has been installed, you can cut a blank key and it will work.

If the mechanism is worn but still has an immobilzer, i would think that it would have shut down with the removal of the key which has a RFID tag in it.

The immobilizer only looks at the key once when it is first turned on, after that it is ignored until the next key cycle off on
