It never ceases to amaze me how many bike owners wont take the time to set up the codes to start bike with out the FOB until the horse gets out of the barn. Go figure.
One of the first things I did when I got it home. **** Happens!
I knew my code when I first got the bike. but having never had the need to use it in the 3 years of ownership and now reading this post I realise I need to carry it with me when I ride, I use a different wallet when I ride so I will put it in there.
This past Sunday I unlocked a saddlebag to get my camera out, and got distracted while putting it back, and forgot to relock the bag. Problem is, I had left my key in the lock.
I discovered this about an hour later when I stopped for gas.
After the initial shock, I was able to remember where I had saved my PIN and find the procedure to start the bike using the bypass code, which I have continued to do for the last 4 days.
Today I am heading back to where I lost my keys. They were turned in to the local PD.
