Default Used FP3 - will it work

Found a decent price on a used FP3, is this a viable option? Or do they somehow get married to the original bike it was used on?

Thanks!

It is married to the bike it is first plugged into. It can be used to read trouble codes on other bikes only.

There's a video from Revzilla that explains it better but yes, once you install it on any bike, stays married to that one. I almost made that mistake by buying a cheaper one from E-BAY. Ended up buying a new one from Revzilla.

A "used" FP3 ??

For the reason already posted (and that you can NOT get another License), I think even at $0.00, it might be overpriced

Just ordered new ones from Revzilla, had some Zilla Bucks that came off the total. Ended up buying 1 for each bike, the road glide and the wife’s heritage.
