New battery or not, for whatever reason your bike is NOT detecting that FOB.

Are you sure you put the battery in the FOB the right way?
Don't take it the wrong way, as many have put the battery in upside down.

Try your second FOB, or remove and reinstall the FOB battery again, making sure it is in correctly.

Are you sure you put a GOOD battery in the fob? Are you sure you didn't install the battery upside down ... a somewhat common mistake? Was the bike starting with the fob before the battery change? FYI ... the security system arms itself about 5-10 seconds after the bike is turned off. You might want to read the owners manual regarding the security system.
