Whether you saw it at a dealer or at a private seller's home, why didn't you ask them? And with the fob in close proximity of the bike you don't need a key to start the motor but if the forks are locked you WILL need to unlock them before riding off LOL.

Flick the kill switch to run and then hit the start button.

Look for the kicker. It should be right behind the peg on the right.

Fat Bob is fuel injection, no prime or fuel ****. Turn on the ignition, Right switch to run, wait a few seconds for the fuel pump to engage...hit the start switch.
