Carry an extra on your bike just in case as well. It is also good to know the procedure to start the bike without the fob present just in case your fob battery goes dead on the road somewhere. It is in the service manual. Glad to hear you got it working.

Ditto to what the Dr. said. You can program a password so that you can start the bike without the security fob.

Wow! it never ceases to amaze me the kind of help and support you get from this forum. Mike 09 probably saved you a ton of money if the Dealer had to fix this for ya...

Thanks to everyone whoever helped me figure something out or whose advice I used from Searching!!

That is why I love my "Old School" HD alarm... I have to actually activate it with the fob. If the battery is dead, I can't activate it in the first place. LoL!

I currently have an 08 Heritage with dealer installed security.
She is not turning over. Feels like it is electrical but not sure how to diagnose it.
Battery is good (new), lights works, security lights trigger turn signals correctly, headlight on, fuel injection sounds like in fires, but when i hit the start button, i get nothing. No cranking, no nothing.
Any ideas before it goes to a dealer to be worked on?
Thanks,
Best advice....stay away from dealer. Find good indie shop.
