"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
This, finally, came up. It took multiple FOB button presses near the headlight to get her going, even after installation of a fresh battery. Many members took their bikes in for service when this happens and sensors were replaced, FOBs replaced, and other "fixes," but what I learned from others on this site is that very *often* it's just an issue with the battery in the FOB having a weak contact. Here's the fix....
Cut some cardboard out the size of the battery and install it on top of the battery, as seen here. This presses the battery down firmly on the three "ears" that connect the battery to the FOB. Problem solved.
Also, I would recommend routinely carrying a spare battery with you along with the very small 1.5 hex. You're not going to find this tool in Advance Auto in an emergency, so have it ready in case you need it on the road to open up the FOB.
