Default Alarm system help needed please!

First off, I am not sure this is where I need to post this? If not I am sorry. If it is I need help.

I have a 2010 FatBoylo. It has been sitting in garage for 7-8 moths hooked to trickle charger. The battery is Good!

I went out to get it ready to ride again , and change fluids. The alarm system is activated, and I couldn't get it let me start bike. I check manual and thought battery was dead in fob. I now have new battery in fob and still will not let me start it. light on dash flash, turn signal flash, and will go off in few if I leave it alone.

What can I try next? I was in process of changing oil when all of this started. Will no oil in tank cause bike Not to start? I didn't think so, but...?

Any help greatly appreciated . I did read manual but it is too much info. I thought someone could help me narrow ot down. I appreciate any help some could give.
Thanks in advance

Jeff

Sounds like the FOB is bad. That's typical for a dead battery...but you just changed it. Are you sure about the new battery?? Can you measure the battery voltage to verify?

Do you have a second FOB? Same problem when it's used?
