• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spare key under the doormat...

Today I had a couple of spare blank keys cut so that the frunk and trunk could be opened in the event of a "lockout". I removed one of the rear passenger footrest rubber pads and cut out an area large enough to nest the key. Once the pad is replaced, it's an easy task to lift the inside edge and remove the spare.matcut.jpgmatkey.jpg
 
Ummm...what about the RFI? Didn't I read something about total shutdown if wrong key is used? Or is that ONLY if power on is attempted?

Dont get me wrong, sounds like great idea if used cautiously.

I also made a couple of spare chipless keys for mine just to unlock the frunk and rear compartments. I have used these chipless keys to turn the ignition and start the RT by holding a chipped key near the ignition switch. Once running, the chipped key could be left at home and the RT will continue to run until it's turned off. No problems that I could see.

I think the idea was to hide a spare key that will open the hood or trunk. It would not start the bike but it would turn in the ignition to allow the person to retrieve a key they have accidentally locked in the trunk. Great idea, I will certain get this done.

No problem until you stop to take a pee :roflblack:
 
Did the same, but...

too lazy to undercut the pad. Just slipped it underneath. Still can't tell it's there... and it's stayed for months now...
