Originally posted by butch890 had a long chat with magnetti merrelli about this today,if your bike has never been run with the red key your clocks are uncoded ,if it has you will need a blank set of clocks to run it. As long as you dont use the red key the replacement clocks will remain uncoded,therefore my earlier suggestion satnds. Butch
And normal procedure is to code them at PDI as I'm led to believe.

So butch, are you saying that the system will demobilise without getting a signal from the clocks?
twpd - sadly, my budget is saying no to a FIM ecu
My information is yes. Dave reillys bike was started when new with the red key,after his off at snetterton a secondhand (delivery mileage) uncoded set of clocks were fitted and hey presto it ran fine! Butch
But has anybody tried disabling the immobiliser - which could simply 'uncode' the clocks - and then tried using them on another bike ?
I think I'm going to have to try this out with the race bike's clocks, and then fit them on the road bike to see what happens. I would really like a get-out-of-jail routine in case it mucks up one of them ! I hate working without a specification
There's still the problem of being able to run without the clocks. Who wants to use std clocks when just a tacho is needed? Is there a way of disabling the immobiliser? Steve at Italia in Lincoln wasn't aware of one.
I've seen that but that doesn't permanently disable it, does it? Nor does it get around not being able to run without the clocks which, is what I need to do.
Got a copy of the updated haynes manual today - it has a much longer write-up than the owners manual :P
- the manual disable is temporary.
- it doesnt mention the clocks at all - mostly just the ecu, with a brief note (chapter 4 section 7 paragraph 7) '... to allow information transfer between the decoder and the ecu ...' so i would guess the clocks have a 'secret' decoder function which stores all the key transponder ids.
