Getting the one FOB was bad enough. But the main point I was making it that it took soo long for the bypass code to work!
much rather have another FOB.

Take a pix of the PIN instructions on your phone. That way you’ll always have it. It’s like sex. It gets easier the more times you try……..

Money says I can put your code in under 20 seconds. What are you finding difficult?

If I wasn't so old with only one eye I could probably do it under 10 seconds!

it took a long time to prompt the bypass. Entering the code was easy. It was just frustrating that it took 6-8 cycles of the switch to get it to promt.

My dealer wants $147 plus labor to program it. I’m thinking after spending a rediculas amount on this bike and being the second I’ve bought from the dealer, I shouldn’t have to shell out another $200 for another FOB. Especially when the bypass code took me 6-8 try’s before it prompted the code entry.

Rant over…..

yes they should give 3 fobs, lifetime oil changes and tires for free.

when you are trying to input the pin, you've got to make sure that you do not have the fob on you. when you turn your ignition on, it should automatically prompt you for the pin, no turning on/off, etc.

i suspect you were having problems because your fob was too close.
