Immobiliser / Security Warning

The security system has flagged something — could be a low key battery or a genuine fault.

What it means

Modern bikes use an immobiliser that checks for a coded key or fob before allowing the engine to start. This light flags a communication issue between the key and the bike, or a triggered alarm event.

What to do

Try a spare key if you have one, and replace the fob battery if it's been a while. If the bike won't start and recognises no key, it likely needs dealer diagnosis rather than roadside troubleshooting.

Likely causes

  • A weak key fob battery
  • A key not recognised or out of range
  • An aftermarket alarm fault
  • A genuine attempted tamper event logged
Heads up: Exact symbols and behaviour vary by make and model — always check your owner's handbook, and speak to a qualified mechanic if you're unsure.
