So this morning I woke up to my bike(Honda forza) missing again, reported it to police. The bike was found by my partner in the afternoon with the side panel being ripped off to gain access to the Electrics and they have destroyed the ignition switch(its keyless). The scumbags couldn’t get it started so dumped it on a main road. I’ve now recovered it to a safe location.

When I look in the side panel I see a connector plug unplugged but can’t see where it goes, wondering if this is why the electrics have stopped working. Can anybody confirm what the plug is and where it goes?

Not sure what I wanna do with the bike either, insurance are aware but I only use it to get to and from work

as far as im aware that socket is for the key module ecu, im assuming the theives have unplugged it to get it reprogrammed ,

they would have got a new key coded and plugged it in and it would have started,

cost about 150 , theres various people on ebay that do it

As noted above it looks like the keyless module has been removed to be reprogrammed

I'd get it hidden away in a shed until you can get a replacement, but quite honestly I'd just sell it to avoid it happening again. That, or leave it outside so they can finish the job I suppose

I'd also scan the bike for airtags or alike.. if you find one stuck to your bike remove it quick sharp.

Thanks all
I’ve got the bike in a safe location, just need the insurance to get themselves together and collect it.
No air tags found

I need to move before I get another bike

Check the fusebox for signs of damage too.
I was working on a stolen recovered motorbike recently that needed a new ignition barrel fitted. I found that the ***** had wedged tin foil in the fuses for the ECU and fuel pump and swapped the 30amp main fuse for a tin wrapped 5amp in the hope it would create a permanent live.
