My bike came with two fobs. One I keep in my drawer. Anyway, went out for a ride a few months ago, rolled it down the driveway, went to start.... nothin. I thought something was serious until I clued into the possibility my fobs battery had died. Got the one from the drawer and it fired up.

I changed both batteries and I now keep a spare battery on the bike.

Batteries for sure, they don't last more than a year for the most part
