Tested today, both works when shortened with motor on or off.
Was thinking buying a used cover with buttons but I don't want them too visible since I rarely lock the bike during the day... Apparently they seem to work even when the key is in my pocket, only locking the steering turns them off... And I don't want to "hard lock" it every time I jump off.
I assumed it shouldn't make a difference whether the engine was on or not (mine works that way, but it only has the seat lock). And since both work, it means that you have both solenoids.
The fact that they only stop working with the steering locked is something that bothered me a lot in the original design too, so I installed an immobilizer (like the anti-theft ones that cut the power when you move away about 5m) and I keep the transmitter in my pocket. When I move away, the button stops working, but when I get closer, it works normally. Some extras should have been thought about, such as draw, which, however small, is always there, but can be solved with a timer and so on. This is the most convoluted solution.
I've seen some users in Spain who have installed a dummy button that powers the opening button, so to open you have to press the dummy at the same time as the other one. This way, you avoid the most convoluted solution, and it works.
