Stupid question

[Josh_]

Hey guys, 

What is this little metal thing that came with the keys from the dealer?

That's your key code for the tumblers on your bike. You can take that number to a locksmith and they can cut a blank key from that code that will work in your ignition.

Oh cool!

Thanks for the info, I would've never guessed that's what it's for.

...especially since stateside T7s don't have an immobilizer circuit.

Yamaha costcutting, I guess.

Got it, different approach across the pond! Don't immobilize the bike, "immobilize" the thief

Hidden dead switch. Good idea @Hammerhead

I like that idea. What kind of switch would one need for that?

None, just relocated the existing one. Bit hokey & requires manual on/off, but does the job. Even duped myself several times already when forgetting it was set.
