Last fall, in anticipation of a long trip I purchase a spare ring. I have the ring and it's one of the discontinued models listed i.e. ending in 463.
You post(s) implied VIN specificity, but it's the same ring for all of my bikes. Also, does it make sense for me to talk to my dealer's parts manager and exchange out for the latest?  Or, is my assertion that they are all failing, so what's the sense?

I also carry one of the 'older' numbers, new and unused and paid by me, in my tool kit. I expect it to serve adequately if I ever need to emergency-activate it in the field. I see no reason to replace my spare for a 'newer' spare.
