The Connected Bike

MY20-MY21 SR/F and SR/S, and MY22-MY23 SR, SR/F and SR/S are connected through cellular networks, transmitting info to the App at all times. Ride information, current bike status and location are always available. This connectivity gives you the ability to monitor the bike in four (4) main areas: Bike Status & Alerts, Charging, Ride Data Sharing, and System Upgrades & Updates.

Ratings and reviews

Just downgraded it AGAIN. I'VE HAD THE BIKE 20 MONTHS, AND THE APP HAS NOT BEEN UPGRADED. I see a lot of people have the same issues. WSJ listed this as the most connected motorcycleStill disappointing. Remote connect continuously shows attempting. The most useful function is setting the charging parameters, delaying until after midnight is a great way to save the grid. Besides that, it seems like you have to be connected by Bluetooth, with the kickstand down to make any significant changes.

Update: I had it with this app. 1 year after it was developed and they still have major bugs. Still can't update the firmware through app. It wouldn't be so bad if the cellular update process even worked. Don't but this bike and look forward to the app it cellular connection or you will be disappointed. It had so much potential. Shame whomever is developing Android app doesn't know what they are doing. IOS app is not perfect but much better.

Just moved from the old app. This one does now connect to my 2019 DS. But it keeps asking for location permissions "all the time" and doesn't allow "only while using app", which is completely unnecessary. Also the refresh time to get data from the bike is much longer, about 5 seconds to get an update. Even after giving it the unnecessary permissions it wants, it still keeps randomly taking me to the settings screen. It's functional, but needs a lot of work.

What's new

• We've simplified the firmware update experience; each ECU can now be updated separately.

• Additional fixes to improve firmware update functionality.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

• We recommend key-cycling your bike after updating each ECU.

• If you run into an elusive bug we are actively pursuing where the app gets stuck on the firmware update prerequisite screen, please try restarting the app.
