Mate, if you've only got one key you are in a potential mess.

Surprised no body mentioned it.

If you loose your only key, you will need a new ECU with its accompanying high cost (£750?)

Get a long to your nearest Honda Stealership and buy a new key for your bike, then pay them to have it added to the HISS system.

If you loose both keys you loose the ability to have a new one added, and all may be lost.

My local dealers are BIG.. and they had a key it cost 27 inclusive and it cost 30 +VAT to code the HISS to accept the new key.

Also its worth noting that you code the bike NOT the key. So when you take the key away from the dealership to have it cut at a key cutters (any will do), do let them try to

code it with their key coding system it wont work, and they could damage the key. The key is a transmitter ONLY. It cannot be programmed.

Sorry potentially disastrous typo...

DONT LET them try to code the key at the key cutters. It wont work. And it may damage your only key.
