Default keys

HI guys and gals,

I have a 2011 48.

Today I was in the process of going for a putt. I have two sets of keys both with FOB's. I grabbed the first set, insert key, turn on hit the run switch, bike goes through it's normal startup routine, hit the start switch and nothing. After scratching my head on this one. Swapped out keys and bingo, she started right up. What on earth could be the issue with the first set?

thx

Two possibilities. Not programmed or dead battery. The first is more likely.

Somewhere in your owners manual IIRC it tells us to replace the fob batteries every year. Start off by trying that, and do both of them!
