1200 DVT Unlock Error ...

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Warnie, Jan 16, 2022.

  1. It did this about 3 weeks ago but was ok after around 10mins if trying. Since then I haven't used the steering lock just in case. But this morning the error came back and it will not work at all now.

    I understand I will need a new hands free unit? Has anyone had one fitted outside of warranty? Obviously the cost is worrying especially this time of year but I have seen one on eBay for around £180 from Italy which might help a bit.

    Any advice would be really appreciated. It's a 2015 DVT s touring.
     
  2. Mine used fail to unlock quite often until I discovered it one happened when there was pressure against the bars

  3. Good to know.

    It has just started to work again, but I have no confidence in it now.
     
  4. I had the same issue on my 2013. Applying heat, a hair dyer, gets mine working again in an emergency, I had my bike in the foyer of a hotel in Scotland doing this!
    I think it must be moisture within the locking unit, next time I have the tank off I will take a look but in the meantime I just use a disc lock.
     
  5. Thanks.

    It started again today. I did give it a good soaking 3 days before this though with the pressure washer, so hopefully it might be that

    I can phone my dealer tomorrow morning and get a price of replacement just in case.
