After a very busy week, I was looking forward to taking a nice afternoon run to stretch the legs on my rtw. Wife and kids were settled in for a lazy afternoon nap and I was geared up for the ride only to lose the wind in my sails when i pushed the nifty black button that has now replaced my old trusty key....
Nothing.... Nada... Zip... Zero... Zilch. No lights on the display, no response with the alarm, no response with using the fob to unlock the cases.... and of course, no ride!!!
So... after trolling the net for the rest of the afternoon looking for any clues, I have found precious little info on the new central locking/keyless ride experiences of other riders. Perhaps I am the only RTw owner that has allowed their bike to sit six days between rides, but I find that hard to imagine. Apparently, the Keyless Ride receiver on the bike is constantly scanning for the presence of key fob which creates a larger demand on the battery. I should also mention that I left the Nav V in the cradle as well as I always keep my bike in my locked garage.
I have had it on a Battery Tender Jr. for almost 8 hours now and there is still not enough juice to get the bike to respond to the key fob in any manner, so maybe in the morning that will be different. Now I'm wondering if there is anything that could have "lost its programming" due to the drained battery that would prevent the bike and the fob doing their thing once the battery's charge has improved?
Anyone here have any experiences they can add/share?
Thanks,
Steve
