Been a very long time since we have had an 'I like KiPass' / 'I hate Kipass' thread (regardless of the actual wording used on this survey). I kinda' miss it..... The image of so many riders beating the $*!( out of their ign. switch housings with a rock has always brought me a great deal of amusement, especially when they are trying to 'fix' a flat tire or a missing saddle bag or similar.

Somewhere out there, Ole' Bob has had a shiver go up his spine when this thread was posted.

I don't know if Kawi duplicated some of the key cut codes throughout our bikes lifespan, but if they have, and you have the matching code, I will send you the key for free. To prevent confusion, I'm referring to the plastic head key that slides into the keyfob, not the actual fob itself (I'm not that generous! )

My ignition has been changed twice and one of the saddlebag latches was replaced years go, so I had no less than 4 key combinations to access my bike (one for each saddlebag, one for the helmet lock/gascap, and the stove top key).  Today, I changed all of that. I took every key cylinder, including the saddlebag cylinders (which required a complete tear down of the latch assembly and drilling rivets), and I am happy to say that one key will do everything I need. It was not a fun job, but I'm glad I did it.

I have two different fob spare keys, one is A132443 and the other is A124322. If you have a match, let me know.  If Kawi gave each bike unique key codes, then please let me know that too and I will toss the keys.  Thank you and good luck!

EDIT: My bike is an '08. The key part number changed in '10, but I don't know what actually changed. I will defer that knowledge to the C14 masters in this group.

Esquire. Gotta be legit, yes?

No issues for me in 7+ years (11+ actually) with my C14. I remove my battery during the winter months and the only issue that I ever had with it, other than mice in the battery compartment, was a nasty corroded negative battery post on the OEM battery. I replaced it, no problems since that issue. 

Motobatt is what I replaced the OEM battery with with, back in 2015.

I've never had an issue, but after hearing various peoples issues I modified my earth connections by adding a copper crush washer between the battery cable and the frame. I then smeared it all in silicone grease to prevent corrosion. My Motobatt battery terminals are brass so not worried about those.
