Ingnition key

[MrBones]

Stopped at a place today, took out the key had a soda and when I put the key back in it only went to the right then springed back to the off postistion. Had to keep putting it in and then it finally worked and turned on. Anyone else had this happen? And if so what is the cure?? Or what is the problem??

It is a 2010 RS-S and the ride was 150 miles the engine was only 3 bars warm so am mystified as to why and what.

Are you sure you weren't pushing it down a bit? It will spring back from the "Open Seat" or Open Trunk" positions. It doesn't take much downward force to engage the wrong functions...or at least the return spring.

Don't believe so as tried it again when I got home and had the same effect. But it dose seem it has to be positioned just right to work? Hope you have a solution as its never done this before today. And guess no one else has had it happen before as no comments.

I have never heard of it happening. Time to see your dealer if it can be duplicated.

Thanks went out today and all worked good. So you hit it just right too much pressure. :2thumbs:
So is the Spyder Nancys toy or are you? You've got alot of good answers.

Yes!

Nancy had the first Spyder, but didn't want to join a forum, so I picked a generic name. The double meaning was accidental but appropriate.

ignition key

A different question now- how are you all storing the key when not riding? Most keys are able to be slotted onto a key ring, but on this one only the plastic jacket can be put on a key ring. I know that the top part can't be drilled for this, but does anyone know if there is some sort of harness that can be put on the key top that can then be put on a key ring? Right now I have the plastic jacket on a ring, but dont really trust that over the long haul. Suggestions?

There are posts on spyderlovers.com to suggest otherwise, although I've not done it.

forbidden?

Isn't the top part of the key where all the digital stuff is that identifies it to the bike (maybe that is why it is so thick compared to a normal key)? If so drilling it for a key ring could be dangerous. God help us if we lose those keys!

The key sheath, when properly used (insert until the key clicks into place) has shown no problems. It is quite secure. The key can be carefully drilled, following Lamonster's photo illustration of the chip location, but the ring and anything added can chew up your handlebars and ignition switch in short order.

Did you use magic paint to get that RT to go from green (picture) to silver (mod list)?

Question: Drilling the key... Does that open up the hidden electronic wizardry contained inside to the elements?? :shocked: I'd really hate to think that one good soaking could monkey things up!
