I knew getting a bike with this option would annoy me and I was right.
So I was off sick for a week and the bike stood throughout and after this the key just wouldn’t work while in my bag in the topbox any longer, requiring me to put it on the back seat to get it to start.
No big drama right? Buy a CR2032 as the internet recommended and quickly changed it at the office. At the time I thought the original battery was a little bit snug but didn’t care to compare it before it went in the bin and just assumed it was in there so long with the gasket pushing it down that it just kind of stuck.
Come down to the parking area after work and computer says no. Of course don’t have the spare key with me but lifting the seat I get the bike to agree and take me home while moaning about there being no key all the way.
Fiddling some more at home and now it just says bugger off, but the spare still works which tells me it’s not the bike’s own battery that has run down, which wouldn’t make sense anyway since the lights go on and it starts without complaint.
So have I just got the wrong battery in there? Or have I somehow broken the key fob?
