Next Generation Key-Less System


Just FYI -
I always carry my second remote (with battery separate) as back-up just in case.
 

I will probably be in the market for this variant also!

So very true, but having a back-up just seems easier to me.
 
Several have asked me - most who are not familiar with it yet - and believe they want the key-switch connected for a back-up.
First, I have not had a single failure* of ANY of my variants, and at least to my knowledge, not one user has had to reconnect the switch in emergency;
so I do not believe having the key-switch in parallel is necessary.
*I do not consider a battery end of life a failure
Second - if you connect the key-switch, you restore the ease of theft by the traditional methods of screwdriver or hot-wiring;
so personally think is better to NOT have it connected

I discourage it for the reasons stated, however IF anyone feels strongly enough about really wanting to do that, then I could provide a 1:2 adapter so both could be connected simultaneously.
A much cheaper (and better IMO) option is just to buy a replacement battery and tape it under the seat!
Or as suggested, simply replace it once a year when you change your CO/Fire detector batteries in the house (everyone DOES do that each year, right?)
 
If the buggers can get to the bloody switch with a screwdriver on mine - they'll have brought a hoist anyway. I have small hands and can barely get to my switch. I'd have to carry the key anyway to get under the seat so.....I will think a bit.

CO/fire detectors - we laugh at such considerations in Spain.

Or - leave the original switch in parallel? - and use a key.
Oh wait. What a simple idea!.
Ken - joking aside - could that be an option?

Why do that, my friend?
Having the key-hole displayed in normal fashion while inoperable, adds one more level of anti-theft, IMHO.

Mate. My keyhole is barely visible and less accessible - and I know where it is. (As the actress said to the bishop).
In fact it's my only interest in a solution like Kens - convenience.
I would have made my own up ages ago with a "close proximity" passive RFID if I had found a decent non metallic place to fit it.

Here - if they're going to nick something they use a van and push it in. Nobody hot-wires a bike.

I have a mate who runs a Bike Transport Service. He loads Harley Dressers (he's not done a Rocket yet) at a run - takes him about 10 seconds to get one into a Ford Transit. The only way to slow that is apply the steering lock - key!. If a villain failed to get it in first shot - most would leave it lying there and move on before the crashing sound brings witnesses out.

Start it later in a closed shop - if you even bother - most I bet just get chopped. imo this makes (business) sense.
Many bikes have loud pipes - your average villains van is nondescript and quiet.

In my particular case - the anti-theft aspect is not even part of the consideration. But this is Spain.
Here there is MUCH easier prey. High volume sub-125cc scooters. And a plethora of popular bikes - 675cc Triumphs for example.
