Key fob battery dying
The battery for my dad's 07 Harley Davidson FLSTC heritage softail is slowly dieing off. We were told that if we pull the battery we would have to have a MC shop reflash the security system? I never heard of this and wanted to be sure before doing it. I have had a 09 Fat bob and 09 super glide custom and never heard of that but I am not 110% sure the security system is the same I believe it is.
It is the stock HD security system.
I don't want this thing going out I just pulled it out of storage so that me and my dad can go riding soon.

I replace my FOB batteries every year but throw the old ones in the TP, just in case.
What can go wrong?
I have two FOB's. As I replace one battery, the other battery would maintain contact with the bike, if it were true, but it isn't needed because it doesn't have a link with the bike except having to be close enough to start the bike.

I change my key fob battery every year, no problems. #CR 2032 Wally Mart. I also carry a spare with my bike.

I thought that is all it had to do with.

What would happen if you actually lost your only FOB and you aren't near the leasing company?
