Yeah its a pity transport is so expensive. Hopefully someone on here will get some joy from it.

I will pop it up on Gumtree/Facebook soon if no one on the forum wants it - I was thinking $1000, any less I think I'll hold on to it in case I get inspiration to customise it. Hard to get a going bike for that to play with which could be registered before customising it. Plus that's about what...

For those that saw my intro and tech post on keys and such. I am giving considerable thought to selling this bike. I bought it with the idea of customising it but looking at it and given they are rarer than I thought it would probably be a waste. That plus moving all the electrics under the...

Awesome, thanks for sharing those, that helps a lot! AS an update I received the ecu back it was sent to Ostan. Total cost was $450 (I supplied two new honda keys - from the guy I bought it off) took about a week - no issues - good communication. If you needed the keys as well it would...

Sorry, not yet. ECU has been posted - waiting game now... I did speak to Ostan people about the idea of an American ECU and he was saying that they hadn't ever tried with this model - no surprise there :) - but he did say it does work for a few of the Hondas but you have to figure out the...

Yeah, he was one. Vectriq keys was the other one.

So.. to add to the story. I have rung a few specialist automotive locksmiths and there is a solution. It is possible to read the data in the ECU to get the key code and program blank key chips to that. The ECU must be physically opened to access the component. There is a video of this on...

17000km Another option, can get an American ecu with no HISS. I’ll try this new barrel and key tomorrow or the next. There is some funny stuff on this bike. The new keys open the fuel cap but not the seat release or ignition. The current keys turn the ignition and the seat release. The ignition...

So by the looks of it. No old key = no ability to program new keys. option 1 buy another ecu and key set option 2 hack the ecu and wipe the key codes so it thinks it is a “virgin ecu” . I have seen this done on a car ecu but probably beyond my skill option 3 wreck it.

Hi everyone. Just got this bike today. Bought it cheap as it currently won’t start. Previous owner is deceased, bought it off his brother, so have minimal info. Story is the original keys were lost. A new ignition barrel and two new keys with the little key code bar ( Honda parts) supplied...

Hi everyone, just bought a 2008 650 nd01 On a whim. Has a few things to do but was a cheap buy and an interesting project. Great resources here. Thanks Sam
