If you want a fob without the key it breaks off really easy. The voice of experience... [emoji31]

That is why I bought a regular key from my dealer and use that for the panniers and GPS locks. Don't want to break that FOB key either...
You can order a plain metal key. I think about ordering one, but the only time I need a key is to remove the seat or side cases.
For those with a fob with a broken key, you can order a replacement key for the fob.
I thought I saw a keyless fob once, but it might have been for the add on security.

So what's the price of a basic metal key cut to code by BMW? And is a blank available which can be cut by the local locksmith?
My experience, because it can easily break I ordered from dealer a separate key, which comes from bmw($20) I then taped my FOB key closed both live on same key ring
Key is not chipped, keyless ride, used for top case and seat
Break the FOB key and be surprised how much a new one is

My dealer ordered me an extra metal key and it was about $40. Came all cut and ready to install
Maybe saddlebags should be keyless too?
Like car trunks?
Mine are, at least to lock and unlock them. I need the key to take them off which does not happen often.
Here is the repair flip out key for the fob.
REPAIR KIT KEY BIT - KEYLESS RIDE
51 25 8 406 057 $20.74
Dummy key to unlock bags or seat, it will not start the motorcycle.
KEY WITHOUT TRANSPONDER CODE
51 25 7 688 674 $37.05
"chipped" plastic key,
EMERGENCY CODE
66 12 8 549 911 $64.85
Prices may not be accurate, but close.
For either one the dealer will need to know your motorcycle VIN. They will come cut to match your locks.

I believe they are on the RT, GT and GTL.

That option is called Central Locking. Even the fairing side compartments lock with that feature (on the RT.)
The nav was the total reason I bought the hard keys. It is almost impossible to get the fob key into the nav on my RS.

The GPS locks on both of our RSs work freely, but the seat locks are stiff.
I wonder if one of the wafers is not freely moving when you insert or remove the key..
