hi ,, just bought new bike,,
i am in Canada
Can't get a straight answer from honda
as to whether it has an immobilizer?

Please? anyone know?

If your Canadian is the same as the UK one it will have HISS fitted. It is basically a chipped key with an immobiliser transponder. The manual tells you how to turn its warning light on and off. Hope this helps

Welcome @David Newman. Hope Andym's answer helps but I have the US version so it came with less features than your's. Congrats on the new bike!

If it says "HISS" on the ring around the ignition lock, it has it. IIRC, the red LED on the dash is there in all markets because the dashboard is a common piece (except for the km/h or mph watch face for the speedo).

Otherwise, it's immediately visible if you take the battery cover and the pocket next to it and look inside.
