No fob
The last 2 times I rode my 2015 street glide. I started it and took off. Looked down and in the ODO screen it said NO FOB. message was only there for 15-20 seconds maybe. Then went away. It starts every time and everything is working, But this message has appeared. Any ideas? FOB Battery? It's a 15 with 450miles I wouldnt think it needs a battery already

I would not count on the battery being "fresh" no telling when that FOB was manufactured - could have been long before you bought the bike.
Maybe the location of the FOB? From other threads it appears that the receiver or whatever is under the seat. Maybe there was interference?
Does it happen every time you ride (since you first noticed) or just occasionally?

May also be where you keep your fob when riding... Is it in same pocket as your cell phone?

I keep it in the saddle bag. And actually phone may have been in there too.
According to HARLEY that wont affect it, nor will wireless internet router, But I found out different with my 07 RK. Long story short it wouldn't start at work!!! Had been riding it for most of summer and park in same spot every day. One day it wouldn't start and theft light and TS flashing. Finally started, next day no start. Only did it at work. Day before we got a new wireless router. Had IT guy change settings on it, never had a problem again.

My 2016 Road Glide Special has started doing this after 3,000 miles. I changed the FOB battery and it is still showing No Fob on the display. The message goes away, bike starts and runs fine. Has there been any updates how to correct this?

If you leave the FOB in/on your bike, it will deplete both the FOB battery and the Bike battery.

Are you 100% sure the Fob Battery is installed with the right side up?

Yes, I have been keeping the FOB in my saddlebag when parked. I do keep the bike on a trickle charger all the time. I will remove the FOB and not keep it in the bag, thanks for telling me this.
