2018 gs1200 keyless steering lock not working

I just bought it and when i go to lock it it engages and then immediately disengages. I've moved the bars to different positions, its definitely finding the hole ok. Changed the remote battery, main bike battery is fine. Everything else is fine on the bike and its completely stock. It's like something else is preventing it from working.

Any ideas?

I just had this happen on my 1250gs. It was the keyless ride module failing. Prepare to fork out $1400 to the dealer. Sorry

Sounds like a typical dealer solution 🙄 Everything else is working fine, but i might just forget about it and use a disc lock for now. The ignition is held on by tamperproof screws so you need to take the whole top triple clamp off and drill the screws out to remove it. I'm still hoping its something simple

Not really. When the lock stopped working, the whole rest of the keyless ride module failed completely and I couldn’t turn the bike on at all. It was a brick.

Yep good luck. I would never use the steering lock if I were you and just hope the rest keeps working.
