to make it simple for you Jim, the effort that he did was fine, the part that needs to be mentioned, is... when doing a clone key chip/key cut, make 2 of them... that way if the stove knob is not there, one key is inserted into the switch, the other passive chip key is placed next to the 'sensor' port, press key down... bike starts... for all other "key" stuff, the extra key is nice... the chipped key reaally is only "used' for the chip function, when placed next to the port... and it MUST be placed there to sense it.. as it's not a "proximity" thing.
I do have a question about this TPX5 chip... the original stuff I dug up, related to the TPX3... which was the first ones successfully cloned...
Here's the pic.
it may be a carry over thru the chips new generations, but it may also require the latest JMA evo chip cloner to clone the TPX5.. food for thought.
I'm ordering some chips and keys now, to make sure... but I'm getting TPX3 chips.
