Hey guys, new to the forum and I'm potentially going to be trading my 02 ZRX1200R + some cash for a 2016 Concourse this summer. I just had some questions about the KiPass system... I understand the information is "out there" but it is sparse in terms of being a complete package for what I am exactly trying to ask..
So "worse case scenario" is happening in terms of the ignition for this bike, the dude says that he only has 1 fob, and no immobilizer, I read online that as soon as I get the bike I should go to a dealer and get an immobilizer set up for my bike.. But pretty much how I am understanding the KiPass system is this:
""It sounds like as long as you have at minimum ONE functioning keyfob you can get an "immobilizer" fob copied at a dealership for like 50 bucks and it works the same as the original fob except you have to touch it to the ignition area of the bike every time to start it instead of it being "contactless", if you turn off the bike you have to repeat this process to restart it using the "immobilizer" fob or else the bike is rendered inoperable. Does that sound correct from your experience/knowledge?
I'm also assuming the key in the fob/immobilizer fob is just for unlocking the luggage compartments/seat?""
I asked that to the dude trading me the bike and he said "The key inside the fob is for the ignition of the bike, give me a minute I just woke up lol." Then didn't reply for over 8 hours.
Any further information in helping me understand this would be highly appreciated, I watched a video on youtube about it with an older gentleman sitting at a table with 1 fob and 1 immobilizer trying to explain it but it was still a bit confusing.
