A few miles after the scenic picture at Glen Shee, a certain gentleman's bike decided that it Wouldn't Switch Off. No way. Nada. Nothing.
Even with key removed, the ignition and lights remained ON and the bike could be started.
Being very close to our hotel and having a couple of suitable tools (on my bike) it was easy to disconnect the battery overnight. And again 2 or 3 times the following day as we completed what we set out to do and ride almost 200 miles home.
Unfortunately, it's a dealer job to replace the complete key switch & ring antenna.
The first cheaper ring antenna acquired was for an earlier model. Later 2015 model needs two big fxckoff 8mm security boots drilled out after removing top yolk.
Luckily dealer says Mr BM will provide replacement switch FOC. Fitting will cost at time of annual service. Needs coding.
What a bastid on a 2.1/2 year old low-kemiles bike.
