I know how you feel. First decent day to ride my bike to work since I put a fairing and stereo on it and both my FOBS are dead. At least i hope that's what it is. Haven't been able to replace the battery yet, but that's definitely what it seems to be.

Thanks for reminding me. I'm a month overdue with my annual battery replacement for all my fobs.

Default Test the dead FOB theory

One way to test the dead battery in the FOB theory is to manually enter in your security code. At least I am able to do that on my RKC. Found this out when I started the bike but left the FOB in the garage and took off. Needed to enter the code manually when I tried to start it at the gas station
