Gents I have a 60 Plate GTR and was only supplied with one Fob can any one tell, should we have 2, as I am now worried that some one has a Fob which allows then to just walkof with my bike.

O.C.

only the early 2008/9 models came with two fobs

you should have one primary fob plus a spare fob  which can be used as an emergency key

Have you got a handbook, as all is explained in there

hope this helps

You only get the one large fob which sits in your pocket, the other spare fob is a very slim black fob which has a small key in it which you can use in an emergency to start the bike.

You do not get two large fobs, if you want another one then the dealer can get them but there a lot of bucks.

Has anyone mentioned that you only get one fob on the 2010 onwards GTR? It also comes with a black thingy with a second key inside. I've no idea yet how the hell that works.  :mfr_lol:

it,s magnetic and you hold it at the front of the key hole which allows you to turn it on

Surely there must be some sort of digital signature on the fob? Otherwise I can see GTR's being stolen easily!

Dare I say .. like a BMW ... different signals every time or the same I am not sure but either way one imagines that ones Gtr is safe .... I hope !

I have got a small fob with the bike so maybe that is the muthical second fob.
Yet again owner manuals grrrr only to be used when you cant sleep.
But thanks for the help I will try it when I get home.

It better be since you can unlock and start the bike with it.   :rolleyes:
Just hold the bottom corner against the protrusion on the left front of the lock and it will unlock the bike.  :yes:
Just give it a try next time you meet someone with a GTR and see if you can start his bike with your spare key case.
If you can it would be of real concern.  :sweatdrop:
And if you can't that's a relief.  :clap:
The big fob supposedly works the same way in case the battery is flat.
The later you brake the longer you go fast.
