DWA Warning - help needed

2007 R1200RT

I have a "DWA" warning on the dash. I understand this means the alarm battery is low?

Can anyone tell me where this battery is? And what kind I need to buy to replace it?

Re: Fuel Strip

my 2007 RT has had three fuel strips replaced. all have failed in someway.


sometimes the "distance to empty" fails completely. sometimes it mis-reads.


i gave up on it and just fill when the trip counter reaches near 280 miles
