    Just bought a new 2013 KTM 990 Adventure Baja and when going out for the first ride, it wouldn't start up and I'm getting the F1 error for Rollover Sensor. Anyone know an easy fix for this? The bike is brand new and hasn't been laid down so it's definitely the sensor or wiring. Thanks

    I tried the orang and the black keys and it doesn't seem to make a difference..

    The orange key is to somehow change the programming of the ignition interlock- don't use it unless you are programming keys. I was warned about doom and gloom if I used it.

    If you used the orange key first, you may have somehow changed the programming- sit tight, someone will come along and tell us.

    LOL, me too. I read somewhere on the forum that to use the orange key is a big no-no.

    The procedure to re-program the keys are in the owner's manual. It happened to me at the dealer. No problems since.:clap
