How’s that seat for the long trips? Factory one makes my butt sore after a full tank.

 

I have a 2022 SDR EVO , and randomly it throws out the same “key not present “ message as well. Which I would just ignore.

This was fine except one day after filling the tank with gas, I placed the fob in my sport jacket front pocket. Then continued my ride down some twisties. Of course I got the “ key not present “ and I just ignored and kept riding.

I got home and turned off bike in driveway to get off and open garage. It would not start. I went to my pocket and it was unzipped, so I lost it somewhere on that ride. Luckily I was home so I had the basic non energized key that you place over the reader.

You can get programmed keys , but not cut programmed keys which are done in mattigoghem. Took me three months to get key and I still have to go to dealer to now program the fob. $272 later.


Lesson learned. I’m putting the passive key hidden on my bike. If this had happened somewhere in the middle of eastbound **** nowhere, it would not have been good.

 

Beautiful bike!
I’m still getting use to my (new to me) 1290s! If you’re ever in Hershey area let me know

 

Oh, man, that scenery looks nice... I lived for decades on the beach in Coronado, but I've spent the last decade in the boondocks, aye? Not complaining, since I have primo mountain ranges & heller trail riding minutes from my door, and the beaches in South San Diego County are polluted and closed half the time anyway, due to sewage from San Diego & Tijuana. Nice to see what look like unspoiled beaches there in Nova Scotia... must have been an enjoyable trip. I would've factored in a sailboat rental somewhere along the line, lol. Thanks for the pics, looks like an awesome stretch of coastline!

 

We try to keep the Cabot trail a secret.....glad you enjoyed it. PS There's absolutely NOTHING to see on the other coast !

 

So … much … water lol.

 

Got any coastal shots? Those would be greatly appreciated here in the high desert, lol...

 

Nice!
