This can result in the radio key ceasing to work; resulting in the engine not being able to start. If the radio key stops working while riding, the warning and indictor lamps light up to indicate the fault but the engine will not stop running until it is shut off. The emergency key is not affected by this problem and can be used at any time. Note: Section 4 of the Rider's Manual contains a description of how to use the emergency key. Vehicles affected: Production Solution: Aftersales Solution: Warranty Information: The Date range listed is only for informational purposes and is not to be considered a deciding factor. In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Technical Campaign, it will be necessary to verify all vehicle VINs through a DCS Vehicle History Check. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. Please note, affected VINs may not appear until 24-48 hours after the release of this bulletin. Vehicles produced as of March 28, 2014 have fault-free radio keys. Before handing over a new vehicle to its owner or when vehicles possibly affected by this issue are next brought to the workshop, complete the work described on the following pages for this technical campaign. It is important that both radio keys and the emergency key are with the motorcycle. If the emergency key is not present it will be disabled. Reimbursement for this Technical Campaign is through normal claim entry utilizing the following information: Defect code: 00 66 00 00 00 Replacing both radio keys Labor code: 00 60 294* Replacing both radio keys, 5 FRUs Part number: 66 12 8 555 168 Radio key (x2) *Main Work 00 60 294 - This main labor operation crediting 5 FRUs includes all repair procedures to complete the task with allowance for necessary ancillary tasks (e.g. visual inspection, lubrication, cleaning parts etc.) and administrative tasks.

Verify the engine can be started. -Switch off the engine by means of the Keyless Ride button, not by means of the emergency-off switch (kill switch). -Wait for 20 seconds with the ignition OFF. -Hold the second new radio key in position over the aerial ring and switch on the ignition. Verify the engine can be started. 2: Procedure for destroying radio keys with faulty software In order to avoid the possibility of confusion and prevent the radio keys with faulty software from being returned to customers, both radio keys must be destroyed and disposed of in the appropriate manner. Even radio keys with the faulty software that have always worked faultlessly can fail at any time. Under no circumstances should these keys be handed back to the customer as spares. Note: There is no difference in appearance between the radio keys with the faulty software and the new radio keys, so it is vital to ensure that they are not inadvertently mixed up! -Remove the battery from faulty radio key (1). (see riders manual) -Clamp the radio key in a bench vice and drill a hole through it at destruction point (2) with a drill bit. Technical data Drill-bit diameter 5mm Destruction point (2) 17mm x 10mm 3: Procedure for enabling / disabling radio keys At this point in time both radio keys with faulty software should have been destroyed and they must be out of range of the aerial ring (distance greater than 2 meters). ISTA steps the operator through the procedure in the workshop system. The vehicle has to be identified with one of the new radio keys that had the brief test performed. In order for the key data to be registered, the radio key has to be placed over the aerial ring in front of the fuel filler cap and fixed in position. If necessary use a length of adhesive tape. If the radio key moves ever so slightly the procedure is aborted and will have to be restarted and repeated for all the radio keys. Procedure: -Select "Activities" and "Service functions". -In the "Drive" menu: select "Electronic immobilizer EWS". -Run the "Disable/enable ignition key" module: -Select "Disable key" and register both new radio keys and the emergency key one after the other. The radio keys you register in this step will not be disabled. Important: Do not attempt to register the defective (destroyed) radio keys. -When you see the question: "How many keys are there in all for the vehicle?" answer: "5". Note: This question does not appear in ISTA version 3.44 and higher (MOSS hybrid 18 and higher.) -Check the overview: It must show 3 keys have been registered and 2 keys are flagged as missing. Note: If all radio-operated keys were disabled beforehand, the new radio-operated keys will not work until they have been enabled in the workshop system. The emergency/wallet key and radio keys that are enabled and held directly over the aerial ring will always display the key symbol with question mark(?).
