Does anybody know if I can change just the security antenna without anything needing programing? My 18 RKS still won't start unless my fob is literally 1/2" away from the antenna. Its only $11.00 from Surdyke so I wouldn't be out a lot of money to try it. But if I have to go to the dealer thats a 4 hour ride round trip I will let warranty handle it.
I'd try letting the dealer fix it if it's under warranty. It may or may not be the antenna- let them figure that out. I can think of a lot worse ways to spend a day than a nice long ride..............
You should have two fobs, do they both behave the same way (assuming the batteries in the fob are good)?
So this has been happening since new? Pretty sure Ive read that the antennas are sometimes just placed in a bad spot and they can be moved some under there to get better reception.

Worked at the dealer when I picked it up, I bought it new a few months ago brought it home and parked it. Now trying to get accessories on before riding season and the damn thing won't start unless I enter the pin. or set the fob on the antenna.

Try it away from home, and see what happens. Might be something in the home, garage, shop creating interference.

I will as soon as I get to ride it, however I live in the country 15 miles to the nearest city, and my wifes bike starts with no issues right next to it.
