Default Engine Codes

Hey Guys,
I'm an old school dirt rider who just switched over to street riding so I can ride with my girl. Just bought a 2006 Street Bob and when I left the place of purchase I noticed the speedo isn't working or key fob. The key light is on and was hoping one of the masters here could help me out.
I tried holding the odometer button for five seconds to get any codes but to no avail. Any tips please? Thank you....

Did you do this:
To get the DTC within an area of diagnostics, push and hold the odometer reset button in for 5 seconds and release. If there are any DTC's the
code will be displayed or the word “none” will appear if there are no DTC's. Push the odometer reset button again to view additional codes if they exist. 1 - Record the codes.

Yes I tried that. Didn't even show "none"
I tried with key on and with the engine running.

Before I left the place the guy noticed the key light was on and said he was going to change the battery in the fob.
But obviously that wasn't the issue LOL

He should have checked it, before you left. Take it back, maybe you're not following the right procedure for checking, have a look at this, easier than typing for me.

Also note I don't have an engine light on. Just the key light. Possible bad ground on bike or battery?

Try it with the "run switch on" that no rsp is telling you that.

AFAIK, You need to start with the ignition off, press the button and hold, turn the ignition on and hold for 5 seconds. Make sure run stop is on.
