Is there any way to tell if the DESS has been disabled? Just bought a 2014 and if it's not disabled I would like to get it disabled.

Have someone hook it up to BUDS or have your local locksmith make you a non chipped key, handy to have anyway and see if it will start.

Why didn't that work? Don't you folks in Canada have Ace Hardware stores? A locksmith is going to cost you way too much money.

Take it to the hardware store, with your ignition key, and ask them to cut it to match your ignition key. They'll need to use the hand cutter, not the programmable one. Since you supplied the blank, there may be no charge. Then see if that X270 key will start the bike, or if you get the key error.

Yes I plan on trying another place in the big city, we live in a small town of less than 4000 so hoping in the city they will have more blanks, if not I can buy 2 blanks from amazon.ca for $20.
