O.C.

Just been to the local cop shop and they were most helpful, although nothing has been handed in yet, they will contact other local stations and community centres (where they have a presence) to see if anything has been handed in. Problem is they aren't actually allowed to record key losses.

The officer was extremely helpful and sympathetic, so fingers crossed

I'll have to organise a replacement which will be a cost I could do without  :censored:

Knowing my luck the originals will turn up after I've bought a spare set. if so I'll have a spare  :yes:

I hate keys.  I now have three 'keyless' vehicles including the bike.  No turning back.

had a scare this morning when my mate Brian rang to advise me that I may not get away with only replacing the lost fob !  I may have also needed a control unit the combined cost if which would be in the region of £650+  :shocked: 

Fortunately because I have the spare fob Brian tells me that I  will be able to just buy a remote fob and get it re-programmed, so a massive saving on cost.

I should be able to get the re-programming done later next week

Brilliant job Brian, and for me a big lesson learned.   :yes:

If you lose everything then the ecu has to be replaced along with the fobs.  Very expensive.

one thing i dont miss about the GTR is the worry of the keyless system. My MO was to have a lanyard for the fob which i had around my neck  but it was always tucked into my inner jacket pocket.my wingman always carried the card key attached to a cord attached to her inside jacket pocket .
Im Looking forward to getting a bike with good old fashioned keys again

:mfr_lol: Well you were certainly key less on our most recent ride weren't ya?

Key system much better. No battery to worry about. Cheaper to replace. Fob pain in bum if you lose and unnecessary expense. Just keep spare key and you are away.

I must admit I love the keyless system but you have to be so careful with it whatever way you prefer for the fob .

Very good play on the words Steve. I was going to make the same comment.  :mfr_lol:
