8. If no operation is performed with the throttle control, the EOBD light will flash 20 times,
then it will remain on and the procedure must be repeated.
9. If the code has been entered correctly, when releasing the throttle control one of the
following two cases will happen:
•

The EOBD light will start flashing to indicate the occurred override; the warning light
will turn off after 4 seconds or if the engine exceeds 1000 rpm.

•

The IMMO light flashes until the engine reaches 1000 rpm, or until the engine is
restarted.

If the code has not entered correctly, the EOBD and IMMO lights remain on and it is possible
to repeat the operations starting from point b) for an unlimited number of times.
NOTE
If the throttle control is released before the preset time, the light turns on again and it
is necessary to turn the key OFF and repeat the sequence from point a).
Replacement of the instrument panel
In case of instrument panel failure, it is possible to replace it by ordering a new spare
instrument panel; then it is necessary to perform the key memorization procedure described
on page 11.
WARNING
We remind you NOT to use instrument panels that have already been paired with
other keys.
Replacement of the engine control unit
In case of engine control unit failure, it is possible to replace it by ordering a spare control unit.
The control unit will reprogram automatically upon the first key ON performed with the red

All vehicles provided with I2K Immobilizer system are supplied with:
•

2 keys

•

1 Code Card
Keys

Code Card

The Black keys contain the electronic device (transponder) that allows starting the engine
only if the same key is acknowledged by the instrument panel control unit.
The Code Card allows deleting and reprogramming other black keys in case one or both
original keys are lost.
WARNING
If the Code Card gets lost, it will NO longer be possible to reprogram other keys; in
this case we recommend keeping the Code Card in a safe place.
I2K system operation
The key inserted in the ignition switch (where mechanically compatible) allows its rotation to
ON. In this position the bike's electric system and electronic control units are powered; the
instrument panel uses the antenna to read the electronic code memorized in the transponder
contained in the key and compares it with the stored ones that can start the engine.
After the acknowledgement, the instrument panel allows starting the engine.

on the instrument panel.

Loss or damage of one black key
In case of loss or damage of one of the 2 black keys, it is necessary to:
•

Order a spare black key with transponder

•

Copy the mechanical part of one of the keys in your possession

•

Perform the key deletion procedure and then the memorization procedure described
on page 23

Key deletion procedure
To delete the memorized keys it is necessary to use the electronic code indicated on the rear

1. Keep button (A) pushed up “▲” and at the same time turn the key ON with the black key
in your possession.

2. Select “REPR” in the instrument panel menu.
3. The instrument panel shows the initial code “00000”; by keeping button (A) pushed down
“▼“ for 3 seconds you activate the procedure to enter the electronic code indicated on the
Code Card.

4. The first digit on the left starts flashing and it is therefore possible to enter the first digit
of the code indicate on the Code Card by pushing button (A) down “▼” (the counter
increases its value by one unit every time the button is pushed down “▼” until digit 9;
then, it starts the sequence again).

5. To confirm the entered digit, push button (A) up “▲” and enter the second digit of the
code indicated on the Code Card.

6. Proceed in the same way for all 5 digits of the number indicated on the Code Card.
7. Once the 5 digits of the electronic code have been entered, the instrument panel will show
“Pro.” and the entered code will start flashing. Then turn the key OFF.

8. From now on, the instrument panel control unit (Immobilizer) has no memorized codes and
it is possible to memorize the keys following the procedure on page 23.
NOTE
If the entered code is wrong, the instrument panel will show the initial code “00000”
and it will be necessary to repeat the procedure described before.

memorized in the instrument panel control unit as explained on page 25 and then repeat the
memorization procedure of the new black keys as described on page 23.
WARNING
It is necessary to keep both Code Cards and identify them as:
• the old Code Card allows deleting and programming of the other keys in the
instrument panel control unit.
• the new Code Card allows reprogramming the keys in case of instrument panel
replacement.
Loss of both black keys and the Code Card
In case both black keys and the Code Card get lost, it will be necessary to order the following
spare parts:
•

1 Instrument panel

•

1 ignition switch (complete with lock unit)
