But if you leave it in the sunshine you don't bother to lock the steering?Saw that coming from a mile away. Had one of these waiting for ya.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Bags always kept my stuff dry, through rain storms, road spray and washings. Knobbed my cases, with the added bonus of using either
bag key to unlock the tank without having to take the gloves off, or search in my pocket (which one today) for the FOB! Ahhh!!
Or use that big key right in front of you.

Nope, never do. My knobbed key always in the right bag.
Took my big key out once, felt like I was doing somthing wrong or dirty..LOL

You are living right on the edge I tells' ya'! And the wrong, dirty part is putting it in....
Yeah, somewhere along the line, another commandment was added: Thou shalt not remove thy key from thy ignition on a C-14'. Fortunately for me, that "rule" was conjured up long after I bought mine and so I started using the main stove knob key for everything, just as Kawasaki intended, and have continued to this day. I think it works fine but if you guys are right, and there is a price to pay, I think sometime in the next 50 years, something bad is going to happen to me and we will all know I never should have taken the ign. key out in the first place. Well YOU will all know but not me I guess 'cause of that 'something bad' having already happened.

If mother kawi really intended for you to take the key out and use it for the bags, why did she make it so BIG? You really don't want that stove knob in your pocket. What is the use model? Ride to a restaurant, turn to FSS, take it out, use it to open bags to put glove in or take out a book or what ever, lock the bags back up, put the key back in the ignition, activate KIPASS, turn it all the way back to lock. Now reverse the process when you get out of the restaurant. What a PITA! I mean they really didn't think this thing through.
This is the thread that keeps on giving (yeah, I injected new life into it from http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=19115.0 )
Amazingly, I never even posted to this thread.... probably one of the several other similar ones. I had a third-party key made so I don't have to remove the stove key nor do I have to disturb/disassemble the active fob I keep in a zippered jacket pocket. Seems to work well, although it is bent some (the damn lock on the gas tank gets hard to turn all the time).
a KEY....what's that an acronym for?
Hey, it was not me but rather a moderator but still.... holy thread resurrection Batman! Still, it IS the same discussion, four years later. :-) And those people who are ascairt of taking the ign. key out are still wrong, four years later.

An oldie but a goodie!So that's what KEY means...who knew.. We call it something else where I come from.
I don't usually think twice about using the ignition key. It is usually quicker than getting the one out of the fob. I have kept my locks nice with graphite though so the key slides in and out out easily and turns nicely.
