Member Contributer weee06 Posted September 16, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2017 Just got a used 2014 vfr800. Do this bike have Hondas HISS system? I don't see it pop up going through the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted September 16, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yes they do. Read owners manual for more info. Also says on the ignition surround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer weee06 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2017 Mine is totally different on the ignition. When I go through the settings it skips from screen brightness to mph/kph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer weee06 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2017 AH, good to know. Mine didn't come with a paper manual so I'm just going off the digital one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Rectaltronics Posted September 17, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm not so sure that you're missing much, not having the HISS stuff. It makes keys absurdly expensive to purchase and copy. And I'm not sure what they do up in Canton but here in NYC most of the thieves just brazenly drive up to the bike in a stolen van, pick the bikes up and pull 'em in. Any time day or night, and bystanders are hardly an impediment. Keeping them from starting the bike after pulling the lock cylinder with a slap hammer isn't an impediment to theft.

Member Contributer JZH Posted September 17, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2017 Here they use (stolen) scooters. The scrotes ride up on several scooters, one breaks the steering lock and another works on the chain/lock. Once they've got the steering free and the wheels able to turn, they jump on the scooters (and one on the motorbike) and push the bike to some secure location using their feet. If you ever see someone on a scooter pushing a motorbike down the road, it's probably a bike theft in progress... Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted September 17, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2017 Means you need to replace ecu as keys are coded to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspanglish Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Plenty of cheap ECUs to be had from the USA with no HISS, sold on eBay together with ignition cylinder, fuel tank cap, seat release mechanism and one or two keys which you can easily have copies made of. It is no deterrent to organized thieves who then probably re-register the bike across the channel and sell it. Or just steal it to part it out and ditch the traceable bits like the chassis. If needs be, making coded copies is simple with Kaldek's YouTube how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
