My SS9+ with keyless is (at last!) on its way to my nearest dealer. After seeing this thread I traded some emails with Laurence. He says it's a keyless gear manufacturer issue, so it affects Ducatis and others too. The firmware fix he claims is about a month off. (Perplexing that this can be predicted.) He also said the workaround is to press the start button a second time "firmly" and ignore the error message.
