Yamaha XSR700 - Owner's Manual > Immobilizer system

1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following:

• a code re-registering key
• two standard keys
• a transponder (in each key)
• an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)
• an ECU (on the vehicle)
• a system indicator light

About the keys

The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key.

Store the code re-registering key in a safe place. When necessary, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered.

Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for reregistering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.

TIP

• Keep the standard keys as well as keys of other immobilizer systems away from the code re-registering key.
• Keep other immobilizer system keys away from the main switch as they may cause signal interference.

NOTICE

DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-registering key is lost, the existing standard keys can still be used to start the vehicle.

However, registering a new standard key is impossible. If all keys have been lost or damaged, the entire immobilizer system must be replaced.

Therefore, handle the keys carefully.

• Do not submerse in water.
• Do not expose to high temperatures.
• Do not place near magnets.
• Do not place near items that transmit electrical signals.
• Do not handle roughly.
• Do not grind or alter.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not put two keys of any immobilizer system on the same key ring.
