    Hi, tried to start the bike. It's been on trickle charge for months. Wants PIN. Put in PIN. Starts. Turn it off. Try to start again. Wants PIN. Aaarrgghh! Called Harley. Changed your fob battery? Nope. Bought 2 brand newies. Installed it. Same issue. Watched youtube vids so am doing it correctly (the bike starts, so I am). Has the FOB died as the bike is not recognising it? Is there a check/test for it to see if it is working?
    Ideas? Thoughts?

    Cheers

    Saw on another forum to check the fob battery is inserted the right way.

    Hi, yep battery is facing the correct way. I'll look into the 9v thing. Cheers.

    There is definitely a 9 volt rechargeable battery there,  I found that out when I removed my main battery as alarm went off for about half an hour
