Help . Bike Won't Start
2012 SG.
Disconnected the plug for the trickle charge;
I turned on ignition, flipped down the Run bottom;
Hit Start.
Nothing. Then the alarm went on.
The lights and radio works.
I called the local dealership and was advised that perhaps the battery in the fob went bad. I rant to the store, bought a new battery and still, the bike won't start. But the alarm keeps coming on.
Before I pay $100 to be towed to the dealership plus whatever fees, what (if anything) can I check.
I rode a week ago and not 1 problem or issue.
Thanks!

Sorry guys but it didn't work. But now, it's freezing down in the garage. I'll try again tomorrow. I called my dealership and they gave me a code for the bike but that code didn't bypass the fob.
I don't know what happened. I rode last week, no problem. The other day, I was in the garage playing music on my stereo... No problem. Today, all of a sudden, the damn bike wouldn't start and the alarm kept going on. Absolutely nothing previosuly happened to the bike, nor the fobs. I don't know why, out of the blue I'm having this issue.
I can't tell you all how pissed off I am. And, today was 57*. The weather is now dropping and we're expecting snow by Monday. Dam, dam, dam...
