Security Key-fob Question
I did a quick search here and Google but didn't really see what I was looking for. My question to the group is this, once a security key-fob is mated with the security system, can the battery be taken out indefinitely and if the key-fob is needed, the battery be re-installed and the fob still be mated? When traveling, I want to take my backup security fob with me but don't want to have to carry it with me when leaving the bike. I guess I could just pull the battery from one and test it for myself. And, yes I have my pin programmed and know how to start the bike without any fob present. Thanks for any response.

".. can the battery be taken out indefinitely and if the key-fob is needed, the battery be re-installed and the fob still be mated"?
Yes. While doing maintenance I've had my battery removed for several weeks and the programming remained intact.

Don't mean to hack this thread but I have a fob question also. I just bought my son an '06 Heritage that has security on it with 2 Fobs (push button type). Only 1 of them works. Replaced batteries with new ones and even took the battery out of the one that worked and put it in other Fob and still nothing. Doesn't appear to have any damage inside or out. Any clues?
