The Master Cycle Zero cannot be used in some areas. This article lists and documents checks that must be patched to remove usage restrictions.
Because of arbitrary, hardcoded limitations, the Master Cycle Zero cannot be used in some areas. This article lists and documents checks that must be patched to remove usage restrictions.


Most of them are located in a component that is nicknamed the “ride manager” (or “RideMgr” when following BotW’s naming conventions) since it manages both horses{{check}} and the Master Cycle Zero.
Most of them are located in the MotorcycleMgr.

* On Wii U, the checks are implemented in the exact same way (which makes sense since it's the same codebase), but only a single instruction has to be patched because the Wii U compiler is not quite as good at inlining functions. Simply patch the instruction at <code>0x02A32A30</code> to <code>li r3, 1</code>.

There are a few more conditions for spawning the motorcycle<ref>0x7100678E80 in Switch 1.5.0</ref>; however patching them is not recommended as they are implemented for good reasons.

If the actor cannot be loaded, the game will not allow the player to use the motorcycle and will show the regular “You can’t use that here” message.

The RideMgr function at 0x7100678E80 (which can be identified with a xref to "GameROMMotorcycle") calls 6 member functions that must all return true; otherwise, the motorcycle cannot be used.

The first 4 functions appear to be using the Havok AI NavMesh system. Something called “motorcycle shape cast” is used in the 3 other functions.
