Key Code lost after battery failure

[GRingo]

After Tim's power out in Morocco we have supplied a new battery. Having spoken to BMW in Malaga they suggested Ignition Key may need recoding after battery failure and disconnection, but thety couldn't be specific on time before coding lost
Has anyone had any experience of this and will Tim still be able to bump start bike if all else fails?

It's hard to see why it would be lost.

You can, according to the handbook, disconnect the battery for charging / long term storage. Out of all the battery failures mentioned here, nobody has ever mentioned losing the key code.

Just remember to reset the throttle stop sensor, though.

Turn on ignition but do not start engine.

Slowly fully open and close the throttle two or three times.

Job done.

Push starter button.

Pray!
