1200 DVT Fob Battery

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by BigAlan, May 13, 2018.

  1. So we went out fo a “quick” run this morning and stopped for breakfast, out we came and no ignition on the bike, flummoxed me for a minute until I realised the fob battery could be dead, luckily I carry a spare and fitted it and hey presto it worked.

    On my GTR it gave me a warning on the dash of low battery, nothing here at all, just flat, is there a warning and I didn’t notice it as I was “concentrating” or do they simply stop working?.

  2. My 2014 bike dash warned me about a week before it died. but not sure about the DVT as it's not happened yet.
     
  3. Had the same, luckily I was at home, could have started the bike with the pin code.....but I hadn’t set one, moral of the story- make sure you’ve set your pin code :)

  4. My battery in fob doesn't last long but generally gives me a couple rides warning with a small icon battery is low. Not always but has always started holding fob to right fairing except once, where I used the pin code.
     
  5. Good shout!!!
    I’ve just been out to mine to check
    1. I remembered the pin (that I set 2 years ago)
    2. I remembered how to enter the pin.....took me 3 goes, but got there eventually. :)

    Good idea to also carry a spare battery on the bike too Big Alan.

    Cheers chaps.

  6. I have put a spare battery under the seat, but how do you put your PIN number in?

    I know you lift the middle panel and I know the number, but how do you do it?
     
  7. This help?
