kipass problems

[O.C.]

Maybe production costs are the main consideration


I've never (yet) had any problems with either KIPASS or TPS on any of the three GTRs I owned.

Hi slickmick, had the same prob a few wks ago and did the wd40 trick and worked for a few days too then stuck. ive since had an air line on ignition and worked. Their must be minute crap gets in, then i used a heavier duty oil, now its fine, good luck.

[slickmick]

just to let you know tapped the side of of ignition housing at 9 oclock position and switch released . gave another blast of wd 40 and it,s been working a treat since. Once again thanks for all your tips

so spraying wd/40 into the ignition barrel may prevent this happening in the future?

[O.C.]

The only observation I would make about the use of WD40 and other simular products is that they could/will attract crap etc to collect which may then possibly vreate  some sort of blockage

A locksmith friend of mine warns against the use of anything other than Graphite powder on all lock related mechanisms

BTW I have suggested this previously

Thanks for the link OC. I have been having KiPass issues for the last few weeks, I often have to remove the fob from my pocket and hold it next to the ignition barrel, and the stove key is now a two handed removal job.

I am hoping new Keyfob batteries (no batt warning on the dash though) and this graphite spray will help.

Just wanted to post back and say this is magnificent stuff. Bought some a week or two ago, and after blasting the locks with an airline, lubricated with this stuff. Huge difference. Stove key comes out like the poroverbial knife in butter now, before it was a two handed job.

Thanks OC.

Sadly you are right Geoff

- would just like to say that the best way to avoid any issues here is to leave the Stove-Knob permanently in the barrel.

- just cut a spare key for the bags/fuel/seat and keep that in a convenient place ( i just leave the key inserted into a bag's lock - which makes it really covenient during refuelling stops ).

That's what I do -I got a couple of spare keys cut for the bags, fuel filler and seat removal, I never pull the stove knob out except for the occasional dose of powdered graphite into the lock barrel.

Regards

Max.

had this problem on my 2010 and used my fist (light punch to the knob) to make it work. I have always left the key in place. sprayed it with lubricant and it is fine now. will keep spraying it regularly
