    Key fob ?

    Key fob ?

    I have started my bike using the plastic key without inserting it in that ring . That would require removing the seat. I held the key up under the rear fender, in an indent nearest the ring, touch the power button, it comes on, you can then push the start button and it starts. Sounds awkward...

    If its a 2021 with original battery, it may need replacement. I just replaced my 2021 r18 classic stock original battery with a lithium battery. 4 years for the stock agm battery is about the limit. I don't know what the idiot light is trying to tell you.

    Reputable Seller or Scam

    Wiring diagram

    It seems like such an odd thing for BMW to not make wiring diagrams widely available. It makes me look at the company in a way I don't want to. The product is outstanding quality.

    Battery in the DWA unit

    Nice. My bike is 4 years old, I bought the new batteries just to be certain of no trouble on the road. Now I can see where they go! Thank you. I also replaced the battery in the remote. And the main bike battery with a lithium battery. NOCO NLP30. Fits perfect and 15 lbs lighter!

    My 10cts

    I agree, the jump start points are a convenient place to directly connect to the battery with a charger and bypass the sensitive electronics.
