Keyless Ride Unit - repair?

[RugbyPod]

I’m hoping someone has experienced this or maybe knows the answer.

After a steering lock is broken (pin sheared off) from a keyless unit (R1250GSA), is it possible to get it repaired/pin replaced?

Everything is working as it should, no issues other than steering lock pin is now absent.

Thanks

Why bother. I never put mine on.

 

[RugbyPod]

No, I completely agree. I wouldn’t now if I had one, but it’s just for future planning and if I ever sold it.

Don't they lock both sides?

 

[RugbyPod]

No, just the one. Wouldn’t matter if they did though. The pin is broken…

I feel exactly the same as you however, I struggled to get insurance last year due to living in the metropolis and one of the conditions was that the steering lock be engaged at all times when the bike was stationary and another disc lock engaged.

Same here, and I don’t live in London. I questioned it, (what’s the bloody point of keyless locking if you have to get a key out to put the disc lock on/off) and was told that it was standard for bikes over £15k.

Is it not under warranty?

I did look into this for my 2016 keyless GSA, and the answer was that the entire keyless locking unit is a single assembly. Replacing it requires recoding of the bike as well, at the time (ie 2016) it was the thick end of £1k.
