Kawasaki service history goes digital with new Digital Key

Free USB stick with every bike to store service history

EVERY new Kawasaki from next month will come with a free USB stick to store the bike’s service history and other notes.

The USB key fob device has been designed to carry such essential information as the motorcycle service history, dealer and customer added notes and such useful facts as recall information.

Accessed via your initially free Club Kawasaki membership, the History Key is intended to replace the hard copy service book, as Mark Spiller of Kawasaki’s Marketing Department explains, to create an easy to access and updateable point of reference.

“The basic idea came about as a result of one of our regular dealer seminars. It was suggested that something like a USB stick could be a great way for both the dealer and customer to build up a digital history and have all the important information for a given machine in the same place.

This easy to access and update device will be as useful as the other elements in K.PAC such as Free membership of the RAC and Club Kawasaki making the purchase of a motorcycle the most complete customer experience possible”.

Perhaps we're missing something but it seems to us to effectively be a free USB stick. And what's wrong with that?
