    In my quest to replace the track bike with a Blade i'm looking at a damaged RR5 to match my road bike.
    Granted it needs a few quid in parts (i.e. £150 clocks, £30 tilt sensor), but it doesn't come with a key.
    Now i know that i can buy a replacement used ecu/locks/key kit for £350, is there a cheaper, easier way to get it running?

    Forget the missing tilt sensor bit, i think its dangling down the front.

    Being a track bike why bother with keys and clocks etc?

    Clocks i agree with, i could even just plug a gear indicator into the clocks plug, but the HISS will be an issue with no key transponder

    I'm sure I read something somewhere about a way to do this, I will see if I can find it again

    Track electronics would fit a hrc ecu for good money. Also saves on a power commander when mapping

    I could chance it by asking the former keeper for a spare, but i like your ideas.

    Do the yank bikes not come with a built in immobiliser?

    HRC route may be a bit pricey though.
