Help Please
U don't need a new battery. The problem is you drew the battery down the 0. A normal house /garage battery tender does not throw enough amps to get it charge. Take the battery out and take it to a garage that has a battery charger that will through 15 or so amps at it . Or buy one from a Auto shop. U can charge it on 15amps for 20 minutes and then turn it down to 3 amps for the remaining full charge ! I can bet ya , after 20 minutes of full charge it will fire up !

YEAH THIS !!!!!!
I have seen many people do what op did. All i did was blast 10-15 amps through it for 20-25 min and put back in bike. It started rite up and was fine the rest of trip. I tell my buddies that trailer their bikes to bike week that they should keep fob in saddlebag or somewhere near bike. The ones that do never have a problem when they arrive. Then the ones that forget are the people that have issues. All i did was blast 10-15 amps through it for 20-25 min and put back in bike. It started rite up and was fine the rest of trip.

When the battery in my FOB died the siren would activate when I put my bike upright and turned on the ignition switch.
If your alarm doesn't activate I'm also thinking that may have a discharged motorcycle battery.

Or, when loading it into the trailer the RUN/STOP switch was switched to the STOP position. Make sure it is in the Run position.

I trailered mine this way several times in the back of the toy hauler and just threw the FOB in the tour pack.

So me and my buddy just brought our 21's Street Glide and Road Glide from Western NY to Daytona Bike week. Fobs were in the Trailer with the bikes the whole time, I'm the ******* who told him, "Nah as long as the Fobs are there, it wont trip." BOTH of our bikes now won't start. Before I go and buy myself and my buddy 400 dollars worth of Bagger Batteries, is the battery the issue? would a replacement battery immediately fix the problem? Should i buy a powerful charger instead, one that can run the 15 amps and such, its our first time and first day down here, so im looking for 100% "yes, that'll work" so im not just killing PTO for an Air B&B.
