So my RHCM was stolen I mean everything. From the clam shell to to body harness. So is there any way to by pass this module I so far have got the engine to turn over. And the fuel pump to kick on but still no cranky. Headlights come on as well. I have an DTC that basically saying lost communication to RHCM. Or is there something I can do to get this thing cranked so I can get on the road?.
No. The switches don't connect wires together they send commands to the BCM. Only the ignition switch is a direct switch.
I am not sure if the BCM wants to see a signal from the engine start button to enable everything for an engine start or not. If it doesn't then you will get lucky by using a solenoid push button.
That clam shell also holds the throttle grip on so I am not sure if it is wise to even try and run the bike without it.
Scum out there all the time stealing stuff. We have cars being stripped of parts on the side of the road and on peoples' drive ways.

So I have the engine turning over with a wire from the battery hitting a fuse the a switch. Then the wire continues to the starter. I jumped the power (red wire) wire to the CAN high (red/white) wire where the plug should be plugged in. So the fuel pump will kick on. But I know its not starting because it does not reading signal for the RHCM. I just need a way to send the right ohms through the CAN low(black/white) wire. As far as I know everything is turning with my current setup. Headlight running lights the motor just wont run. This is where I am at. And I have hit a brick wall.
with a wire from the battery hitting a fuse the a switch.
I have no clue what this means.
CAN bus though is a network with data. You do not put 12 volts on it nor some resistance to mean a particular switch.
I forgot of course that you could put 12 volts to the small wire that powers the solenoid to energise it. There is a 4mm spade terminal that goes to the end of it on the right hand side of the bike.
Being pedantic you didn't bypass the button as the button doesn't drive the starter. The button only sends a command to the BCM. If the BCM determines everything is okay it will put 12 volts on the solenoid wire. You bypassed the BCM.
