Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #1 When ordering a new fob also order a non chipped metal key. My fob never leaves my pant pocket on a trip. I use the metal key if I need to remove the seat or the GPS. I rarely lock my luggage. Same thing for Debbie.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4Zitat von Valks im Beitrag #1 Likewise. I learnt the easy way that a dumb key is the way to go. I had removed the seat and left the keyfob in the seat lock as the seat just clicks back into place. Fortunately, this was overnight in my garage and when the key was not in the usual place I remembered where I had left it. https://www.keysinthepost.com/ are good for those in the UK.

I bought a dumb key just to use to remove the bags and reinstall them when washing the bike. My hands are always wet or damp and it seemed prudent to protect the electronic key. Plus, it would be my luck to drop the remote key in the wash bucket. I put the dumb key on a lanyard and hoop it around my neck. |

I ordered a spare dumb key for touring, that’s the only time I have luggage fixed on the bike. I keep the electronic key permanently zipped in a trouser pocket and the spare dumb key plus disk lock key on a lanyard around my neck. |
