Yes. If you purchase a new FOB, have the new one and the one you currently have paired to the bike by a dealer. That way, the lost FOB is useless.

"I'm not sure about any costs but one thing...KEEP THE FOB IN YOUR POCKET! I have mine on a chain on my belt and it stays in my pocket, not dangling."

That's easy enough, but who among us, on a night out on the town hasn't lost his pants? I don't think these type of suggestions are helpful.

there's an easy fix for that. instead of attaching the fob to your pants, attach it to this:

if you lose your nipple, well, then i got nothing.

Why would someone want to hang their fob from your nipple?

it's easy to program a fob on my 06. Why pay the dealer?

if you have an 07 or newer with the proximity fob, you are going to have to pay the dealer. you can't do it at home.

You are missing a HUGE opportunity here! Tell your wife the only possible way for your bike and belongings will ever be safe again is if you purchase a new bike. The real benefit here is SHE lost the fob making her responsible for the whole gory mess in the first place. I've been married 4 times.
