![]() ![]() I'll have to check the Australian reviews and keep an eye out for a dash video of a bike that is off (thats when the flashing key symbol will appear if the immobilizer is installed, I'm pretty sure Australian T7s are made in Japan? Unless something drastically changes with Yamaha (but it would be a cost savings for Yamaha to not include that feature) I am quite confident that the USA bikes will not. It made a very significant difference and was worth the cost and huge waiting time.Īs far as I can tell, the European T7's do have the immobilizer (and matched keys, a system similar to hondas hiss) I would not be surprised at all if the Canadian T7's will have the same immobilizer system. My VFR-X did not have the hiss system, its ecu was different from the USA version, however the shop I was dealing with was able to crack it and subsequently tune it for me. I'll be lucky to even get 4 months of decent weather before snow hits again here I hope everyone who anticiapted the bikes since last year and however they ordered a bike, in US or CDN, get it and enjoy the rides! The benefit a lot of Americans have, is in some parts they can ride year round and extract all the juice the T7 offers. I have a CB500X now, and that's how I found out. Would you know if Honda follows similar suite? The CB500X has a HISS, Honda Ignition Security System with the matched keys, however the Canadian and USA bikes did not. Very interesting, thanks for sharing, did not know this. Speaking of botched launches, the B-King was a wonderful bike, suffering from bad timing and a bad lauch.īut, at any rate, the bikes are coming, and sunny days ahead! ![]() My old Suzuki B-King was a USA bike, all of which were California compliant bikes, and they got super bad ignition timing, crappy fuel maps, pressurized fuel tanks, charcoal canisters affectionatly called rocket-launchers on the side of the engine, and other horrible performance robbing features added on. The only USA bikes that I would say are worse off than Canadian bikes (again I owned these so I know) is California compliant bikes. no time or energy to get it back right now. be prepared for a dead bike, and have to spend a fortune for another ecu. (ask me how I know, I have a nice dead R6 in my garage that has not ran in 2 years. and you happen to flash your ecu in the USA. if you don't know that USA and Canadian bikes don't have the same ECU's and keys, and immobilizers. It took 12 weeks for a usa shop to figure out and flash my canadian VFR ecu, thank goodness it was over the winter.Īnd. I'm curious if the US ecu flashers will have any issues with Canadian bike ecu's? I know the R6 and FJR1300 Canadian bikes have immobilizers, and USA ones do not. This is usually not there on the USA bikes. In all the Tenere 700 videos, I see the flashing "key" symbol when the bike is off. And it really sux to pay a fortune for a spare programmable key and have a dealer charge an arm and a leg to marry the key to your ECU. We get European colors, and often European features on the bikes (often to our detriment)įor example, Yamaha bikes sold in Canada, get the European key immobilizers with very expensive chipped keys, the ECU's are different from the USA ones, all of which plays havoc with modding or flashing the ecu. Why Canada would get different treatment, it seems the Japanese motorcycle makers treat Canada more like an extension of Europe (in a way, like a tiny little country just floating in the Baltic Sea or something, our population numbers and market is tiny) Fingers will be pointed, feelings hurt etc.Ĭircumstances, pandemics. ![]()
