I pulled the battery out of my fob, removed the rear seat and placed the dead fob over the ring antenna as shown above. Shazam! The TFT lights up and the bike starts. I got a warning on the TFT to not shut off the bike as it may not start again because I was using a dead fob. But, the engine was running and the bike was mobile. Learn something new every day. Thanks for the trick.
You can put the seat back on but you'll have to repeat the procedure after shutting off the bike. Chances are you'll ride home or to a store to buy a 2032 battery.
Cars with keyless also have a spot to place a fob when the fob battery is dead.
I replace our bike fob batteries each year so I have never seen the low battery warning.
I also replace the 2032 batteries each year on my bicycles.
