i have had mine for 2-1/2 years. still on the original battery. i figure that when the battery goes, i'll just use the manual disarm procedure until i get to the store to buy a new battery. i'd rather replace it with a fresh battery, than one that i've been hanging on to for a year or two.

Just an FYI.... Not sure what model year OP's bike is, but the dealer has to mate the fob to the bike on '07s and up. No button on the fob to push.

But, like you and others said, change the batt and go.

Mine didn't last a year. I was riding in the cold last fall and stopped in a small town to fill up. When I went to leave the siren began blaring - my bike didn't detect the FOB in my pocket. It turns out the FOB was in my outside pocket away from my body heat and it was so cold the battery froze and didn't have enough power to send out a signal. There were no batteries in the small town but fortunately I had the card in my wallet that tells me how to disable the alarm. When the FOB warmed up it was good to go again. Needless to say, I carry a spare battery with me all the time.

After reading this thread, I went out and bought 4 new batteries. 2 for the garage openers, 1 for the bike, and 1 just to have on hand.
