somewhere on youtube there is an easy way to program a second keyfob that does not require removal of the windscreen. I bought a second one (yes you have to provide your reg and license to the dealer) and it was a simple set of steps to program it.  I did it so long ago I forget the procedu...

The throttle turn thing was(is?) a reset method that I recall from my '98 C - since my '16 RT is having this issue I'll give it a try. I also heard that using the STOP button instead of the "key" (I have keyless so I press that button) solves the issue also. BTW mine only does it in the mo...

I had a baby nail in my tire yesterday.  TPMS said my pressure was at 18 - I was 10 miles from home - took the back roads - pressure went up to 20psi on the ride.


Went and got myself a patch kit and we'll see how it goes (tires have only 3000 miles on them).

Thank you for being part of the Patriot Guard. 


Ride Safe.

updated both my 10Rs yesterday - I had already downloaded the manager (Windows 10) - it updated the manager then I plugged each unit in and followed the instructions.  I've yet to repair it to the bike nav system (I did a factory reset after the update) - one step at a time

As I recall you need to download their Windows or MAC app (before or after registering) then it was somewhat straightforward (Windows 10 btw).  I didn't watch the videos. If you don't see 'sign up' or 'register' on their site, make sure you don't have any ad-blockers or such running.&nb...

I'm 6'4" with a QuietRide on my R1200RT - its all the way up all the time - I hit a high speed this morning  (not quite double the posted limit) for a few seconds getting away from a few cages that were acting a bit erratic.  Windscreen didn't flinch. And did you know the Nav ...

I never thought about any bike being a poor commuter bike.  I used to ride my '98 R1200C any warm/non-weather issue day I could.  I plan on doing the same with my R1200RT - 7-8 times so far this season - who cares if it has all the bags on it ... I'm getting used to them.

Thanks for the reminder on other items may effect your success in using the keyless fob. My company badge needs to be far enough away... I can't have both my PD access and my work ID on me otherwise neither place will let me in :-)  I'm about to start using one of those Mobil (speedpass) fo...

Thanks!  Hoping to do the same over the coming months - just not sure if I'm going to go with some aux lights at the same time.  I've still got kids in college!

I plan on riding with and without the large 49L top case which does not have an integrated brake light installed. Clearwater confirmed that their Canopener unit will drive two Billies - so I'm going to put one on the plate (yes I'm US) but before mounting it, I'll be taking a good look at it to see ...

I figured it was  tax of some sort... but I had to go look it up:

Thanks - I need to get some nighttime driving in with the bike before I make a choice on what I need for aux lighting and mounting locations.

When you say 'on the engine' - do you mean on the engine crash bars? I only see the fork and crash bar options on their site.


Thanks
