No Transponder
« on: September 21, 2011, 08:43:35 PM »
Toward the end of my 5 mile ride at 12 mph on my flat front tire and bent wheel the dash interrupted the  Front Tire 0 psi message briefly to inform me my transponder was missing. Just what my frayed nerves needed. Defiantly, I took my left hand off the gyrating handle bar to reset the display. No doubt KIpass was punishing me for being a dolt and running over a rock.

Actually
I suspect the low RPM and high current  draw of the radiator fan dropped voltage low enough for KiPass to momentarily lose track of the fob.
Nothing worse than having your balls go missing.

Not really bad luck, mostly my own fault.
Just too much time on my hands. One of the benefits of working I miss  now that I'm retired is it helped keep me out of trouble.

But the way I see it, if you never get into trouble you're not having enough fun  ;)

I do like the way you think. ;D No matter what happens life is still good. Can't say Ive ever heard of Kipass losing track of a fob. The only time I ever saw that message was when my FOB commited suicide and flung itself from my open jacket pocket.  :-\ I am now a bit more vigilant in securing the ever elusive FOB's. 8) Sorry to hear about your tire & wheel.
Life is good.... At least from my perspective.

There were a couple times last fall when I got the no transponder message.  My fob was in the glove box and I guess there was interference from my phone.
Keeping the economy going, one tank of fuel and two tires at a time.
