Super short background...
in 2010, I had my KIPASS ignition replaced due to the sticking spring issue. No problems since, fast forward to Friday, August 16th, 2019. I was 100 miles out of town for a training course for work, and had ridden my 08 there. I only rode it home on Fridays and back again on Sundays for multiple weeks. She sat in the parking lot during the week.
Problem...
On the 16th, I loaded her up for the trip home, hit the stove key, and nothing. I thought it was the stuck spring again, so I gave her some good whacks. Then I got the following error on the screen, "SUBKEY ID ERROR".
Absolutely no response from the bike, whatsoever. I took the battery to a parts store. Tested good. Replaced the battery in the fob. No change. Put a new master 30 amp fuse in, same.
Fortunately, a friend of mine had some free time and a truck, and he made the trip and brought her to the local dealer for me. The dealer has been working on it since August 20th. They have 'tried everything' and can't figure out what is wrong. They called in a Kaw rep, who came and did his diagnosis. He left scratching his head, as well. So far, they have not said anything about replacing the ECU or whatever controls all that crap, but I fear it's coming. They only part ordered was a new ignition spring, which I thought wasn't a separate part, but maybe for the Kaw rep it is???
Do any of the masterminds on here have any idea what is going on? It's literally good one day and fried the next? Keys have been reprogrammed and the parts have supposedly removed and tested good. The other FOB, which was 100 miles away at the time of failure, also give that error code. So I'm confident the FOB's aren't the culprits.
The bike has 100k and has the wear to show daily use for 10 years. It's worth, at best, $2500. I don't believe it's economically feasible to spend more than $500 or so to get her running again. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
