Can this happen with a loss of 'keyless fob signal' ie do we get a warning like the cars or does it shut down from a signal loss.
Does the red led flash / alarm indicator' indicate.
Have you tried the little grey key near the pillion seat?

My 2nd RS will be 2 years old in march next year, better think about extended warranty! Or an R1250RS?

Well, there was me trying to decide if I should bother with the extended warranty, now, p’raps I shall.
Hope you’re sorted out soon.

The clocks are blank. No power whatsoever.

I wonder if a internal battery short will cause this?
At least you were close to home and have warranty.
Are shops open on Mondays over there?

How very annoying. Please let us know what and why - when you know.

Bravo said: In Norfolk up until recently people with keyless ignition would be burned at the stake. "Ere he started his bike without puttin that there key in,he's a bloody witch". So I didn't risk it.

This is why I live in Suffolk. Strange folk there in the North. Not like us in Suffolk.

Bravo said: Will do DJ. Tell me how are you getting on with them platform boots?

They are really good! These are Daytona M-Star GTX boots with about a 6cm. lift for little short people who can't otherwise reach the ground by the way. They are very well made, waterproof, a little tight around the ankles for me but a snug, safe fit. Expensive but for me, absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Good luck with the bike at Lind and I am glad you were not in the middle of a fast overtake when the power went! This is something that has always been in the back of my mind since owning a Triumph 650 TR6 a long time ago. Amongst many entertaining little tricks it performed was all the electrics suddenly cutting out. Most entertaining. Its other favourite trick was the headlight bulb (single of course) dying with ludicrous frequency from vibration and general demonic intervention. On the little country roads that I spent much of my time on, commuting at night in the snow, rain and impenetrable darkness, this was very, very dangerous. I ended up wiring in completely separate spotlight system directly from the battery as an insurance policy. On several occasions, it probably saved my life.

Well, lights that these days mostly stay on and electrics that do not suddenly cut out (with occasional exceptions) certainly helps. Of course, we never had any of these problems with the good old acetylene lighting. Very reliable.
