boo!

 

The Princess Bride or WWE. Which one?

 

Wassat then? Honda Integrated Shiteness System?

And this?

Theft deterrant stuff, like Alpha-dot.

HTH.

 

Honda Integrated Security System. The key has something clever in it,
like most cars do nowadays.

Anti-theft think, like alphadot.

 

And again, Ace proves he's still in the 90's when it comes to Honda
motorcycles...

 

70's, if you please. The only Hondas I've owned have been a 1976 SL125
(in 1977-78), a 1979 CB900 (technically my bro's, in 1979-80) and the
1976 400-4 which currently graces my garage.

Honda Ignition Security System



"The ignition switch is programmed to only accept either of the two keys
that are originally supplied with each machine. Since the engine is
totally disabled at the very heart of its digital ignition system, no
other key can turn the switch or start the engine, and neither can the
bike be hot-wired and ridden away"

 

Ta.

s'about time the bike makers caught up with technology that's been
used on cars for yonks. Does it also persuade the insewers that an
additional alarm is no longer required and/or that bikes so equipped
should be in a lower group?

 

Appaently not.

I doubt it very much.

 

I was interested to find, when I was sorting out insurance for the Z1000,
that although some companies will give a discount for Datatag and
Alphadot, that did not appear to be the case with Smartwater.

When it first came out I recall one of the magazines, or maybe MCN,
comparing them and seeing how difficult it was to remove them. Smartwater
is very easy to apply - especially compared to Datatag - but is also
easier to remove with a bit - well; quite a lot - of elbow grease. It
also doesn't require particularly specialist equipment to detect: just a
UV lamp and a dark garage.

 

It was a breakthrough in factory-fit security for bikes. By tying the
key and ignition together so tightly, it was effectively impossible to
get around the security - without the collaboration of a Honda dealer
and/or a good fake V5. So much so that Thatcham awarded Cat1 status
to the system.

HISS has since been downgraded to Cat2 - despite never having been
"cracked" (allegedly) it was eventually deemed feasible to install new
ignition and associated bits and obtain new keys.
HISS2 however, is Cat1. It appears to be identical with the original,
but with a massively strong cage that is apparently _not possible to
remove_ around the ignition brain. Thatcham love it.

 

Not much does, save concreting the whole bike into a solid block. If
somebody of a certain mindset _wants_ your possession, they *will*
take it. There is precious little that you can do to prevent that,
apart from making it less desirable by taking security measures ...
and hoping that they will go "next door" and lift somebody else's that
isn't bolted down as well as yours.

But at the end of the day, it is only a thing - and things can be
replaced. Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy it while you can.

Me, I rely on a good layer of shite. This not only saves me time and
effort, it protects the finish and deters the light-fingered. I CBA
to maintain a bike in glittering condition, so it is completely the
opposite. Nobody looks twice at it - except to spit in its general
direction when an incautious moment of adjacentness has left a gungey
smear on otherwise clean clothes. Ha. **** 'em!

 

You're quite fond of stating the obvious, aren't you?

 

Tell it like it is Pip.

 

You appear to be correct:

I'm sure I read articles on HISS2 that claimed Thatcham1, but that may
have been optimistic pre-release hype.

I do like this, though:
"Although it’s sometimes difficult because they are so desirable,
Honda is constantly working to make its models less attractive to
would-be thieves," said Greg Wills, communications manager for Honda
UK.

 

I have qualifications in STFO myself.
