Desperate to get my Bimota Tesi 2D running again. Trying this tonight.

This forum is more helpful than my dealer. Thanks from a Bimota Tesi 2D owner.

Hoping someone can confirm this works for a newer Bimota Tesi 2D.

Been searching everywhere for help with my Bimota Tesi 2D's key code.

My Bimota Tesi 2D refuses to start. Could be the key code—trying this fix.
