So, I know the SOS failure error is a well done topic here and on the FB groups, but usually gets answered with a "you must have been in a poor signal area, it'll probably go away" and to be honest I didn't choose to have it fitted, it came as standard and as with most things I hope I never need it.
I had my 2019 1250 for 3 years (14000 miles) and had the big yellow message maybe twice, both times I was in the Alps so wasn't overly bothered and the message went away by itself a short while later.
I've had my new 2022 1250 since the middle of February and put 1600miles on it and I'd say 70% of the time I've been riding the bike the message is there (or at least the warning triangle once I dismiss the error). It's flip flopped between "Emergency call system failed" and "Emergency call system restricted". Last time it came on was in Scotland recently, I rode up to Moffat with some friends, no issues, parked the bike overnight, came out in the morning and the error was there and stayed on for the next 4 days solid. I got home, disconnected the battery, reconnected and it went away, it was fine for maybe 2 rides but is now back again.
It's going in on the 23rd to have it looked at but I fully expect in true sods law fashion the message will have gone away, the bike will pass all the diagnostics and they'll give it back to me. Just wondered if anyone has had this issue persistently and how difficult was it to isolate the problem by the dealer? I just want to arm myself with as much info before I potentially get fobbed off. I'm not too fussed about it not working as I mentioned before but a friend of mine recently crashed his R1250RS in France and the bike started "talking to the passers by" who saw him lying there in a bad way and it could be argued it possibly saved his life so I'd prefer it either worked, or was turned off, which I suspect isn't possible.
Thanks!
