Patent ID: 8825296

Claim:
A method for operating a control system of a motorcycle, comprising: moving an electromechanical steering lock from an unlocked position to a locked position and vice-versa, with an ignition system to start the engine of the motorcycle, which is controlled by the controlling system, generating an authentication, in which an ID generator maintains a data link with the control system, wherein, after a positive authentication, the steering lock is brought into the appropriate position, in one actuation process, providing a first actuation element, which maintains a signal connection with the control system, which is accessible to the user, and the actuation process commences only after a positive authentication, via a deliberate activation of the first actuation element, which occurs after the authentication, checking the actual position of the steering unit against the required position by the control system during the actuation process in the instance that the actual position matches the required position, the steering lock is brought from the unlocked position to the locked position, in the instance that the actual position does not match the required position, the actuation process is abandoned, in the instance that the actuation process is abandoned, no movement of the steering lock is carried out from the unlocked position to the locked position absent a subsequent activation of the first actuation element.
