Tale Of Woe -- Keyless Ignition On S. Triple Rs

...and I sincerely wish you well on that front!

Make sure you put in for a free annual service (or two) from Triumph - they certainly owe you something in terms of compensation.

 

I took the battery cover off to have a look (1.5mm hex key) and then removed three torx screws (microtorx 0.6) and the battery, but it makes a 'glue unsticking' sound as you prize it apart from the keyring end...and the key blade end doesn't budge a millimetre. Got scared and put it back together

 

Alternatively, you can probably knock the pin out with an old drill bit and a hammer...but I'm definitely not trying that.

 

Thank you for sharing this .... only had mine 1 week and I was genuinely thinking “surely I need to keep one passive key with me at all tones ?!” .... seems like I may well do !!!

 

Really glad your “sorted” pal

 

I think that’s pretty disgusting considering the premium status of the Triumph brand. I’d be kicking up a right stink, the point of keyless is that you only need to keep your active key in the pocket bit carry around another one in case you need to open the seat!

Rant over!

 

A sorry tale and sound advice, thanks. Will review this and see if I am sorted with the keys and fob.
I had a new Volvo with keyless locking, my wife didn't believe it worked, so in order to try it out she locked the car and then walked up to it to ensure the locks worked. Guess what...……….
She came back in to the house and said,
" that car isn't working properly, the locks do not auto lock. When I walk up to it I can get the doors open every time "
I asked where the key was, " in my pocket" was the reply.

She's not blonde, honest !

 

Slightly off topic but I did manage to lock myself out of my motorbike once....

I had an RD 250F Yamaha with the 2 stroke tank under the seat.
One Saturday morning topping up the oil, I left the key on the tool tray beneath the seat. Finished the top up and then slammed the seat shut...…..
To be fair, I am blonde !

 

Does anyone know if these caps can be used with the givi tank lock system?
I’m off to the show tomorrow and may have to splurge on one

 

Just checked my passive spare keys, she a genuine lady, with a difficult to find sweet spot.... but once found, she’ll pur like a kitty

 

Took mine to a dealership not long ago and had the tyres changed over, whilst there I asked for the 2 spare keys to be tested ..... took them 20 minutes to find the sweet spot (cue a million jokes) which as stated above is about a 1cm square spot and nothing else will do (cue even more gags) .... the "interesting" part was that they said they'd heard about the issues but was the first time they'd tried it .... mine work which is great and the dealers have now tried this out too so hopefully will help others

 

30 minutes lol, I’ve used the spare key several time working on the bike over the winter to turn it on and never found it difficult to find it. Maybe they should turn the lights off or better yet, put some hair around the sweet spot .

 

After reading through this you'd think they'd walk you through how to use your space in the event that you'd need to. I know what I'll be testing out this week.

 

My dealer did, although it still took them a while to find the 'sweet spot' to show me

 

I'm lost, where is this so called " Sweet spot" on the 2019 triumph speed triple RS & will this allow me to start my bike with the two keys provided by the dealer with out having to have the keyless fob in range of the bike?

 

The sweet spot is above the rearshock reservoir, hold the key against the black plastic and move it around slightly, whilst holding down the ignition button. Take you’re time, it’s a very small sweetspot, but you’ll find it!

Ps: yes, it should work without the fob within range
