If battery goes dead

Post by Dougb095 »

Will the sat release still operate if the battery was to go dead?
If not how would you open it to access the battery?
Thanks

The button on the dash is connected to the latch by a cable so no need to have power for that part. What I'm not sure about is if you will be able to turn the ignition knob with a totally dead battery. Perhaps someone with a smart-key bike can chime in. Mine is a 2019 with ancient metal-key technology. ;)

Also, welcome to the forum! There's a lot of good info on here if you use the search function. When you get a chance, it'd be a good idea to put a location so we know what bike you have (US spec, Euro spec, etc).

Cheers

My PCX 2021 came with 2 emergency keys for opening the seat in case of a battery failure. See attached pic from owners manual page 137.
