Ok bit of a longshot question here..but here goes Does anyone know if removing the HISS chip off the key whilst it's in the barrel with the engine running will cause the engine to cut out ?? The reason I ask is that today, whilst out and about the bike cut out, very quickly, about 3 times in the space of around 15 seconds. Almost like I was knocking the quickshifter with my foot, but I wasn't. I had just passed RAF Fylingdales, dropped down the hill and was pulling uphill round a tight right hand bend. At first I thought it might be low fuel sloshing about, but as I had brimmed it before setting off and had only covered 60 miles it seems unlikely. Those that know the area probably already know Fylingdales dubious reputation of causing many a vehicle to have starting issues.. Sightseers stop off to get a photo or two of the base or surrounding countryside and then find that their previously problem free motor refuses to start. the reason being that the high energy radar blankets and blocks certain frequencies of radio transmission and certain car immobilisers systems happen to use these and so won't start. Once the car/bike is towed a couple of mile away then the problem goes away and the vehicle starts ok. Which is the reason I ask about the HISS chip, I'm wondering if the system is one of those susceptible to Fylingdales influence and I was unlucky enough to ride through a stray beam causing the bike to cut out like it did. The bike rode normally afterwards, plenty of power just as it did beforehand... Any thoughts folks ??
Most anti theft systems which read a chip via a reader coil only need the chip set number or random number to allow a signal to the ECU to start the engine,once it's been read and once the engine is running you could remove the chip away from the reader and as long as you don't cycle the ignition it should have no effect to the running engine.
Thats what I thought Didn't know if the HISS was designed differently, seemed odd how it happened, as though something was cutting the fuel or ignition..
I tend to ride with the balls of my feet on the pegs so I can keep my weight off the seat so my toes are well away from the levers unless I'm going to brake/change gear.
Is that likely with a HM one ?? rode some bumpy rutted roads before and never had a glitch.. I might have another run over the same road if the weather stays favourable and see if it repeats
