Thanks Ben. Just bought a used 2023 Rally Pro 1200 with the fob and keys and nobody mentioned anything about the hidden start option. That's a potential game changer right there.
You can't imagine how much I appreciated this. The manual says "under the passenger seat." They should have said under the fender. And the illustration was worthless - I had no idea what I was looking at. I have an GT Explorer, but the same applies. Thank you!
Haha you're super welcome! And you're right the instructions might as well be thrown out lol. I'm a visual person...I figured there are a lot more people out there like that as well and need help finding this little tool. Safe riding to you, my friend!
You can simply hold the key on the outside of the motorcycle under the passenger seat. So you get to the contact point and the ignition at the same time.
Thanks. I've been having issues with the fob not working if the outside temp is under about 40 degrees. I was having to resort to the emergency startup but was holding the fob in the wrong place. Thanks for the visual confirmation on the correct location.
That really convinced me on getting a keyless bike. You only need to crawl under the back fender to get your bike started. That's way more convenient than plugging a key into a lock. 👍🏼
@@benattwiggcycles 😂😂 if only there were a high tech electronical solution to flat tires. But you got me and all in all I'm not criticizing you personally. Thank god my BMW GS is still available with an old school key and lock. Greetings P. 👍🏼
@@peterparker219 You're all good brotha! lol Man I'd be surprised if someone doesn't come up with a solution like that. In today's world possibilities are endless. And I'm with ya there...a good ole traditional key will never let anyone down. I guess it's today's market, the keyless ing. is the future it seems. Safe riding to you!
You saved me tonight! THANK YOU!! I thoroughly washed my bike tonight from a day of dirt n mud. I pressure washed underneath the back fender and then my key fob didn’t work. Do you think when it dries out, my key fob will work? Or do I need a new battery? Thanks! Darin
Will this work when you lost both FOB and Cut Key .. I am Lost both FOB and CUT key .. just get the new Kit from Triumph, But Than i Need To Pair the Key with The Bike …
Great place to out the receiver, under a mud guard right next to a boiling hot exhaust. Well done Triumph engineers. At least put it in the other side, or better still how about allowing the immobiliser to be disengaged by entering a code?
This is a great video, and I need it I have same model in year bike. At a service place, getting an inspection in oil change, and I guess the key died. Tried to explain to them. There was this trick way but I didn't know how it work so this will help me tomorrow.
@benattwiggcycles I went back to look and they were in the Triumph Binder that I was given. Also had some lock tumblers too. The Dealer never mentioned any of that.
You absolute super star - you saved me calling Triumph to recover my bike - thank you
Thank you so much!!! I am glad this was helpful 😄

Many thanks for this video, Ben. Much appreciated. I would never have worked that out from reading the manual. Subscribed.
You are very welcome!!!
you're awesome.. thanks... no one even mentioned this

I also managed to start mine by it placing the key at that spot to the outside so essentially you could be siting on bike and start it.

🤔Uh not quite. This is only a back up security feature if the fob dies. The point is to keep the FOB in your pocket and the bike starts right up.
@@benattwiggcycles Only if the fob dies, I understand. But it seems to happen quite frequently if it's necessary to do a tutorial about it. No ?
@@peterparker219 No different than a tutorial on fixing a flat tire. Doesn't happen all the time but it's good to know if it happens. 😉

FYI you don't necessarily need your spare key to do this. The fob has the same chip the keys have. Just use your dead fob like you're using your key.
Will this work when you lost both FOB and Cut Key ..

May I ask, what about opening the electric lock fuel cap when no keyless fob?

Does it works with Scrambler 1200 ?
Hello! Yes this also works for the Scrambler 1200 models.
What about the 2018 model? This is the latest version and doesn't help me 😢
Exactly the same process but the sensor is on the left side of the bike - look under the saddle and between two plastic prongs.
I guess I never received my keys, I was only given the FOB.
Hello 😊If you purchased your bike new it should definitely have 2 additional keys. Make sure your dealership did not withhold them from you.
@benattwiggcycles I went back to look and they were in the Triumph Binder that I was given. Also had some lock tumblers too. The Dealer never mentioned any of that.
@@mikemills5144 Yay that’s awesome! Yes you should also have 3 tumblers matches to your keys so you can have panniers and top case installed as well.
Too fast. What is on ?
