Another FOB question
Earlier I was curious to why the new bike came with only one FOB. That’s another story….. Many said they didn’t need a second FOB so I figured I get used to using my code to start it. It took me 6-8 times of cycling the switch and waiting for everything to stop flashing before I could enter my code. IMO this is bullshit. I’d like to have a FOB at home as well as one in my pocket. 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…..

I put a fresh battery in all my fobs each year. Overkill, but cheap insurance. They don't fail. The code is a backup method for emergencies. Don't lose your one fob and you'll be a-ok.

Charge you over twice as much for the FOB then charge you to program it. See if you can find an honest dealer. better hurry CEO is shutting sown the honest one. Anyone with a centurion can program it.

I’m not close to Dracut but who wants to go for a “short” ride! I will hit you up! Do I still buy the fob at the dealership?
