Scrambler 1200 Emergency Key Receiver

Tried it and worked no problems.

 

Even if the main wireless key battery is dead it works as a non powered key like the spares so try it with that first. If it works but the two other keys don't then they have not been paired. Up to 3 keys can be paired. I use mine all the time on my Tiger 1200 but you do have to have the key bang on where the receiver is located, keep it held there, even move it around a little while pushing the start button at the same time. You should have a little wireless logo under the seat to show its location.

 

i had my 1200xe serviced today by smiths and after the 1 1/2 service it was passed to me but it would not start up. The dealer used the method of turning the key on and pressing the start button at the same time. I said i would not take it if that was what was required each time. They went away to check the key fob program and returned 15 mins later and all ok. it turned out if the key is within range of the bike for 30mins but the bike is not running, it shuts down as a security mode. By moving key away and waiting 10 minutes it returns back to normal and all works ok. still think this is something none of us wanted.

 

Good on you for not accepting it like that

I often hang my key on the brake lever when working on it in the garage...and that's never happened when I've tried to start it afterwards. It takes me much longer than 30 minutes to do most simple tasks too

Also...I can easily yak bike stuff for that long at the local tea hut and not stray out of range. It does sound a bit strange - and worth testing out.

 

There are quite a few owners on Scrambler 1200 Facebook groups who have persistent fob issues, so much so they have moved the underseat attena so the standard key can be used without removing seat

 

the sager continues but now smiths have ordered a replacement key fob. we shall see if this works.
