I have a 2012 TriGlide and on my second battery the first one the post inside broke in sturgis, MS a couple years in the middle of the night. But this guy name Goober sold me one off his other Harley he had said it wasn't old. I'm going to replace it before we head to Arkansas to Bikes, Blues and BBQ.

The Autozone store I bought it from told me that they'll replace it if it goes bad within 1 year. Hopefully, I won't have to test if it's true or not.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but it does pertain to battery life!
I found out the "hard way" that the little CR 2032 batteries that we use in our security fobs (and remote locks on CVO models) may sometimes not last a full riding season.
I installed new batteries in both of my fobs in the spring of '16 and I was on a trip a few months later and after a short stop I went to start my bike but when I turned the ignition on my security siren activated.
I was in a nice, quiet, residential neighborhood (good thing for me that is was mid-day) but fortunately no one seemed to be upset or even paying attention to me or the siren.
It took my brain a few seconds to come to the conclusion that the battery in my security fob had died.
Good thing for me that remembered that I had purchased a package (4 I believe) of these batteries and that I had placed the package in the little storage pouch in my tour pack.
A few minutes later and I was on my way.
Always keep a couple (or a few) spares on or in your bike.
If you don't need them, perhaps you can one day help out a fellow H-D rider when he/she is in need.

Turn your ignition switch to off and get ready. Turn it to Ignition and within 3 seconds you need to press both ( left and right) sinal buttons at the same time. Now you will be able to enter your 5 digit pin and start your bike.
I practiced this for a week straight... riding without my fob so it is permanently engrained into my brain. I will never forget my pin or how to use it.
p.s. You hella jacked the thread. I got the info I wanted when I started it anyways.
If you don't have or know your pin, we can set it up without paying the dealer. let me know if you want toor need to.
