That has also happened with mine less than a handful of times in the 5 years I owned the bike. In all cases IIRC, I pulled the tab outa bit more using the tip of a key and it worked. Wouldn't hurt to put a drop of oil on that pin to make it slide better. Also, I think that once time I cycled the bike ON and then back OFF and it worked.

And yes, I still like keyless ignition. No chance to leave the key on the bike as I did a couple of times with the S1000R.
