im going to tell you how to recode you immobilizer system- charge your battery, now this has to be done very very quick, master key in turn ignition on count 2 seconds quickly, take out , same for normal key, and then the same for the master key again, if you dont do it quick enough it WONT work!! DONT leave your keys next to anything magnetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try starting it with the master key. This will work or should. You may have to reset it and his is where your friendly piaggio dealer. There is a way you can reset it but you will have to ask Piaggio.
Hope you start it ok

Yes i have the master key but what do i do ?

Have you got the original master key?
Cant really do much without it I am afriad. This is a case for trickle chargers everywhere. Over winter invest in a trickle charger.
Your bike CDI thinks that someone is trying to nick it and so the CDI is stopping the Spark getting to the bike.
You will need master key or new CDI alas. A piaggio garage MAY be able to decode but I doubt it. Get a non standard one dont bother with a Piaggio one these are expensive.
