Tiger Explorer #rally Pro Key Less Issues

Fob battery? Sometimes the simplest things are missed.

 

@Helmut Visor is this anything like you had with the Multistrada?

 

@Mrs Visor I though you and @Helmut Visor Were married.

 

We are, but he is miles away not at home to ask .

 

@Mrs Visor Maybe i had better mind my own Business.

 

No need Joe, nothing nefarious afoot, just work!!

 

@Mrs Visor Still minding my own. But suspected that

 

What make of battery is in the fob? Duracell can cause issues, I had it with my car. Using Panasonic, energizer and varta seem better

 

My issue with the Multistrada keyless fob was that it drained the battery very quickly so wouldn't be seen by the bike. I tried many different things with no luck until someone asked where the fob was kept.
It had been kept in a faraday box with any other battery key fobs (car etc). It was suggested that because they were all in together they may be "talking" to each other and draining the battery. I moved it into a separate faraday pouch and problem solved

 

In the key of my former Tiger 1200 (2020) the space of the battery compartment was to "big". I put in a small piece of folded paper to get the pins, which hold the battery, pushed down. "Tata" - with this small "hack" I never had any issues again with the keyless system.

 

The Triumph fob can be turned off by pressing and holding down the Triumph symbol until the little light goes red. So the battery is only being used whilst the bike is being used.
Having said that, a Triumph dealer will/should put in a new battery at the annual service. Mine did anyway.
