Urgent help or advice needed

Turn your big plastic switch thingy all the way round to the "FSS" symbol.  The big plastic switch thingy will now just pull out, like an ordinary key.  You can use it to unlock the panniers, tank or seat


FSS stands for Fuel, Seat and Saddlebags

Confused now, I have a big plastic switch thingy not a key slot. The key for the tank and panniers is attached to the Fob.

The picture looks like a standard ignition key set up, unless I'm missing something ( quite possible )

Mikey do you have an owners manual ? If so I would have a look at the part about kipass  and how to use the chip in the big fob it may help if you need to get going if your fob electronics playup . All gtr 1400 s are keyless but as said you can remove the stove knob to reveal a standard ignition barrel and key .

And also remember you need to have your fob near to remove the stove key it's just the same as for starting the bike the fob needs to be in  range

Mikey push your black knob down as usual and then turn it as far right as you can past the on point and then pull up and the knob will pull out to show the picture i sent you. Looking like a normal ignition. Then do as i said before. Its a common fault with these bikes.

If you are getting the low battery warning it's either the big battery or the one in the FOB.  A low battery in the FOB can cause grief with starting.  It shouldn't but it did with me.  Acted like it was the big battery but it was the FOB battery.

So mikey did you give ignition a squirt of wd40. Did it help out all. 🤔🤔

Might be in France by now, hopefully not in a hire car

  you could be right. It is a common problem though. Easy fix with wd40 or light spray oil
