I have never understood why people find KIPASS scary.Because its thousands if you have to replace the stuff. That's why. lol
Misplacing a jacket is a lot harder than misplacing a fob or a key.
I have never dropped the key into the black-hole that is the fairing.
If you leave the fob close to or on the bike, it will keep communicating with the bike and that will flatten the fob battery PDQ. It also drains the bike battery more quickly.
Because its thousands if you have to replace the stuff. That's why. lolIf you lose your fob, you still have the spare at home or in your wallet so you can get new fobs programmed. Yes, a new fob is more expensive than a key, also more secure.
This may be true, however, I have jackets with holes in the pockets. Name brand ones too....looking at you first gear.But not KIPASS's fault.
youre lucky. but so am I. I have a short lanyard on my keys, and I dropped them into the abyss of my C10 years ago. Thankfully to that lanyard it only took me about 4 minutes to find them......could have been way worse.Oh, I have dropped several C10 keys into that abyss, and I eventually managed to retrieve all but one of them (on that ride I had a spare with me). A couple of them required fairing removal to find them. One was on a mountain pass in Austria and I didn't have a spare key with me. Was VERY relieved to find that one and went the very next day to a key cutting place and had 2 copies made even though I already had 2 copies at home.
No. It. Doesn't.I just researched it in some detail and you are correct and I was wrong. There is quite a lot of conflicting data out there about it.
They go to sleep and it only wakes up when it gets a signal from the pressing of the stove key. If it were constantly communicating there would be no need for a key press.

You can enter a security code and it will crank up.
Yeah the PO of my bike left the fob in the [locking] glove box at all times. I felt like that was a bad idea.....if the fob battery dies over the winter for instance, you cant get into that box to get your key....though now talking it out, I guess you can use your passive key in such a case. But the same PO didnt know what the passive key was and insisted he only had one key for the bike...so might not have helped him in such a case lol.
But leaving an active fob on/near the bike totally defeats ALL security. So that is something I would never do or recommend. Why tempt fate?

With the superior 1st gen C14 you didn't have the glovebox lockout problem.
Seriously, though, calling either a 'glovebox' is a bit of a stretch.Why? I can get a pair of my huge (5XL) summer gloves in the 08 model "glovebox".
