Extra set in my jacket, and backup spare set at home.I have a spare key zip tied on my bike as a precaution. It would be awful to be out in the middle of nowhere and lose a key.

Correct, brass is not magnetic. Most keys are nickel plated brass.I don’t think the key is magnetic and I purposely don’t have any rings or fobs so as to avoid the rattling and scratching that might occur. I have a flexible magnetic retriever, works great for ferrous bolts and bits, but like you I keep it in my tool box at home.
Yes, we, the US, do not have the immobilizer. Our keys are all the same.....In the U.S. and perhaps elsewhere this differs.....
My S10 has a blinking light in the cluster and I understand is Inmobilizer, is that correct?Yes, we, the US, do not have the immobilizer. Our keys are all the same.
Same as mine! is blinking for 24 hr then goes off and is red too!The UK bikes also have a blinking light on the dash, a red light. (UK bikes have an immobiliser)
It flashes for 24 hours after you switch the key off.
Yes, pretty sure you then have the immobiliser.My S10 has a blinking light in the cluster and I understand is Inmobilizer, is that correct?
I do not know what design is the one apply to the unit sold in Mexico, is there any way I can find? Probably with the VIN number, does someone know?
Have a nice weekend.

Yes I do have a red key with a tab, I understand it is only to make a new key. To get a new operational key do I have to buy a specific key (needs to have a trasponder too?)Yes, pretty sure you then have the immobiliser.
There should also be a key with the bike, where the plastic is red, if so, then we are 100% sure.
(don't use the red key to start. Only used to make new key)
WJBertrand,With my luck I would have found it imbedded in the brand new rear Anakee Adventure!
Positive impressions so far, but only a couple hundred miles on them. They replaced a set of 705s and for me the steering/turn-in is much lighter and neutral feeling compared to the Shinkos. The interesting bit is I picked up a few MPGs compared to the 705s. Evidently the Michelins have a lower rolling resistance. Highway stability and in-corner stability is very good. Stay tuned for a mileage report, I’m headed to Calgary for WeSTOC Thursday.WJBertrand,
Just curious to know what your opinion is so far regarding the Michelin Anakee Adventure?
I can ditto WJBs' positive comments on ride and handling. Apart from the Anakee 3 I have only had full road tyres on the S10. I wish I had had the Adventure fitted before my April ride down to Spain, but the PR5's where still good.WJBertrand,

The winglets will certainly improve any up-draught turbulence, but you don't mention what ear protection you are using. Simple foam plugs will trim at least 30db off. Then experiment with the helmet vent settings & mirror position - every little helps & the trouble is we can all obsess; that's why I have got so many crap after-market screens up in my garage loft.First accessory fitted to the screen was a Touratech bracket to adjust angle and now the wingletts, still a little noisy, but a whole lot better than it has been.
Using a few different foam type plugs....mirrors are adjusted for the rear view (not planning on changing that just for noise) ....will muck around with the Touratech bracket a little, but currently I'm happy with the way it is...could get carried away with different screens (but, like you it's probably pointless.)The winglets will certainly improve any up-draught turbulence, but you don't mention what ear protection you are using.

I can pretty much concur spot-on with the both of you regarding your impressions for the Mich AAs. I have put over 700 miles on my AAs since I had them installed in mid May but I have not really had too much experience with them off the pavement except for a few short scoots on some hard park dirt roads and rocky, gravelly trails which they were fine on. The howling in the curves has now kind of become a "hum" but whenever my S10 is the least bit off centerline they make their noise which at this point I have kind of gotten used to.I can ditto WJBs' positive comments on ride and handling. Apart from the Anakee 3 I have only had full road tyres on the S10. I wish I had had the Adventure fitted before my April ride down to Spain, but the PR5's where still good.
