Fiftyfour seems to be a popular number but once on the GTR the age just sheds away.

Looks exactly like mine but a lot cleaner being as IVe done 15000 miles since august. I like it so much this is my second consecutively.

Somebody ones told me that the tyre pressure information is a gimmick and unnecessary. Well I can confirm that it is not so.
Going to work friday mornining a red light suddenly appeared on the dashboard and the low pressure display clicking on and off. This was before I even felt anything amiss which was a good job because it came down to 5 psi within 100 yards. The hole took 3 bungs before it sealed long enough for me to follow the AA man to a motorcycle tyre dealer a couple of miles away.
Thirty minutes later back on the road £172 poorer but glad of that little red light but unhappy about the fact that the tyre I replaced had only done 3000miles and couldn't live up to my nickname.

My 2009 had 2 key fobs exactly the same. The 2011 has one plus an emergency one as they call it. It explains it very well in the manual.

Hi

This is my second GTR1400 and the only time I lost pressure was when I had a puncture and as my nickname suggests I get full use of the tyres. First bike front tyre 7000 miles, rear 12000 then changed them both again after an other 9000 miles. The non factory ones don't last as long for some reason.
Second bike both went to 11000 miles. Still running the new ones.

Welcome to the forums tyretothewire.

You appear to have a stuck Kipass issue. It's rare but does happen. At approx the 9 o'clock position, tapping the housing should free the solenoid.

Thanks Norman Bates. I knew there had to be an explanation my fellow bikers on the trip kept teazing me telling me the granite round me was my kryptonite.

Hi 1400 GTR Owners

I recently experienced something on my GTR1400 that has never happened before or since. On atrip to Scotland from Leicestershire I stopped to admire the view and take some photos at Glencoe. To my annoyance when I pressed the button to turn the key the familiar klick was absent. Tried it several times without any joy. I also tried the emergency one which you get with the 2011 edition but still no joy.
Has anybody experienced this at all.
I certainly haven't and this is the second GTR I've had due to the fact that some careless cardriver wrote the first one off after a year and 22000miles later. Luckily I had not locked the handlebar when I stopped as I'm in the habit of doing and being on the top of a very long hill I rolled it down trying to start it as I went along. It was only when I ran out of hill another couple of attempts that it started again.
Any Ideas anybody?
