Why do manufacturers feel compelled to make things like ignition keys so complex that simple mistakes in their use of damage gets to be very expensive. Kawasaki Concours, Ducati Multistrada 1200 and now apparently the Tenere. Peruse these conditions for the use of a key.
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE REREGISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS LOST!
If the code re-registering key is lost, registering new codes in the standard keys is impossible.
The standard keys can still be used to start the vehicle, however if code reregistering is required i.e., if a new standard key is made or all keys are lost the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. ??? Therefore, it is highly recommended to use either standard key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe place.
• Do not submerse any key in water. (Ah.. this is an off road adventure tourer that crosses streams! )
• Do not expose any key to excessively high temperatures. (Tenere desert comes to mind)
• Do not place any key close to magnets this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc..
• Do not place items that transmit electrical signals close to any key. (GPS, Spot telephone?)
• Do not place heavy items on any key. (Like an upside down Tenere?)
• Do not grind any key or alter its shape.
• Do not disassemble the plastic part of any key.
• Do not put two keys of any immobilizer system on the same key ring.
Keep the standard keys as well as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehicle’s
code re-registering key. (No touchy! ???)
Keep other immobilizer system keys away from the main switch as they may cause signal interference. ( Like in keep the spare key that you carry away from the immobilizer or it will screw up the works )
