can you swop the immobilizer

[motojohn]

i have problem a s4 that may have a immobilizer problem , i have a 620 ie that im working on i was just wondering if you can swop them around or will i have to swop the ignition as well:grump:

AFAIK you have to replace the clocks, immobiliser & ECU as a set as they are all coded to one another. This is why the racing guys junk the factory kit in favour of something like a Nemesis ECU. It's also the reason I deliberately picked a pre-factory immobiliser model 900ie for the trike donor. The clocks leak like a seive on 620's, and the immobilisers are starting to play up on a host of monsters, so it would seem electrics are still a weak point for Ducati. Perhaps we just aren't meant to ride them in the rain?

Accordingly to the owners manual:
"Immobiliser: one more things that can go wrong"

That'll be a really heavy shower for an IE ;)

It's a green safety feature not a fault, after all who'd want to ride on those wet slippry roads ?!?

The immobiliser is built into the clocks / ECU - As gary said, if you swap 1 part, you have to swap them all as they're all coded together.

Obviously the S4 wouldn't run too good with a 620 ECU!

If you're asking if you can swap the immobiliser aerial from the 620 (it surrounds the ignition to pickup the signal from the key), then as long as it's the same part number, you should be OK.

I think Albie had problems with the aerial (or the connector / wiring) on his old S4...
