My owners manual makes no mention of an immobilizer. Yet a non-chipped key will not work. I had just filled my tank and when I tried the key in the ignition it would not turn in either direction. Tried it several times with no luck. Pushed the bike away from the pumps and still no ignition. Took a break, bought some water and relaxed a bit and went back to the bike. After another 15 minutes of removing and re-inserting the key in either direction, it worked. Kept the bike running until I got to the dealers where of course, it worked perfectly. It hasn't failed since. On line research found a description of a GSX S1000F manual showing an immobilizer circuit which includes a light next to the key which indicates how things are working. This version doesn't appear to lock the key, but disables the starter and ignition via the CPU. My bike appears to lock the switch itself. I can hear a clunk when trying to use the unchipped key.
Has anyone else had a problem like mine? And does anyone have the ignition switch with the function light?
