• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is there any way to tell if DESS has been disabled?

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.
 
Yes I tried getting a key cut localy but I will have to go to a locksmith I guess.

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.

Get yourself one of these Ilco X270 blanks

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.
