Lucky, this thread, this site and you personally just saved my ass. My key and fob was lost somewhere near gloucester MA earlier today. I discovered this when I stopped for gas and my lights started blinking when I shut the bike off. When I went for my key all I found was an open zipper and empty pocket.

But, I did have the override code stored in my phone. And a google search brought me here. I was able to start my bike without the fob. And my buddy's key opens my gas tank. Now I hope it doesn't rain because all my tools and rain gear are still locked in the one saddlebag. The bag with my clothes was unlocked. I must have unlocked the bag and left the key in the lock at my last stop but never relocked it and rode off with the key hanging off the bag. DOH!

I do have a complete backup set of keys with another fob at home, but home is in PA. A bit of a hike for anyone to run it out to me.

But, I can start the bike and gas it up, so the road trip is still going. I'm in Maine now.

Thanks to you, I definitely "got lucky" today.

Glad we could be of some help.

And that's a great idea to store the code in your phone. I am going to do that!

I set my override code as my b-day. When forced to use the code remember you can turn off the bike only using the kill switch, leave the ignition on and the alarm will not set. This saves a lot of hassle for those short stops.

The number for the fob battery (07 and up) is CR2032, you can pick up a pack of 5 on ebay for about $2.50 delivered to your door. This is also the same battery used in most fobs for your cars keyless entry.

Thanks for that tip FavoriteJewel. Since I am now using the security override code every time I start the bike, the kill switch tip will come in handy over the next few days.

BTW...today I stopped by the HD dealer in Portland, and was able to get a key for my gas tank. My friend's fit, but I have a 400 mile ride home after I split off from him. They didn't have a way to get my locked bags open, but did refer me to a locksmith that had them both open in a matter of minutes.

And the best news of the day was when I called the Gloucester PD to see if my keys had been turned in...and they HAVE THEM!! So, I will be able to get my FOB back...eventually!
