So Im still not in love with my bikes ergos. Today I installed "Phil's now Murph's wedges" and went for a ride to test them out. About a minute into the ride I notice a red light and NO TRANSPONDER on the screen......Crap, where is my FOB???
This KIPASS system sucks! Long story short, I found it on the road only to see it being run over by multiple vehicles as they passed...its toast.
Any leads on the best price for a replacement? ThumperTalk is the lowest Ive found at $268.63!
That sucks! I had my own kipass mishap the other day, left the key in the on position and killed my battery! Never would happen on my 1982 bike where key on = headlight on, I would have noticed that.
soooo did the wedges make a difference? Or are you stuck with no key now

It's all in the way you choose to view the situation. As long as you think that the bike sucks, it will suck. Remember, the only difference between an adventure and an ordeal is your attitude.
There are some on this forum that love their bikes in stock trim, others have spent over $1000 to get their bike the way they wanted it. Motorcycles are an amazingly personal thing, what works well for one may be like a medieval torture machine to others.
The C14 is a WONDERFUL machine. It's fast, smooth, dependable, can handle like it's on rails, and it will take all you can give it then ask for more. With attributes like that, spending the time and $ to get it to "fit" is a worth while investment. But that's just MY attitude about it....

Why don't FOB haters leave it in the glove box and take the stove knob key with them?

There's something inherently wrong with these FOB haters so there's no making sense in the things that they do or don't do...

I dont think the op is saying his bike sucks, and he is already invested in aftermarket parts and has had the bike around 3 months.
I find it difficult (presumptive maybe) to judge poster's attitudes but can completely understand frustration at losing riding time and having to pay out for a simple mistake, others apparently see it as a blessing.
KIPASS is one unique feature of this bike and, like the bike itself, takes time to become familiar.

Leave the fob in the glove box, then use the stove knob key as you would any other bike. Problem solved & fob haters quit crying !
