I don’t believe the new Fob will work without programming it to the alarm. Of course you can’t program it to the alarm unless you can use the passcode to get the bike turned on.

Step 1

Set the "Run/Off" switch to the "Off" position. Make sure the security lamp is not blinking, and disarmed. The next steps must be completed with less than 10 seconds of pauses in between.

Step 2

Turn the key to "On," "Off," "On," "Off" and "On" again.

Step 3

Push the left turn signal button twice, then let go of it. Wait for one to three flashes from the turn signals and indicator lights for confirmation. The number of flashes will vary, depending on your motorcycle's configuration.

Step 4

Push the right turn signal switch once, then let go if it. The turn signals and indicator lights will blink once.

Step 5

Push the left turn signal switch once, then release it. The turn signals and indicator lights will blink twice more.

Step 6

Press any button on the remote until you see the lights blink twice more. It may take anywhere from 10 to 25 seconds for the lights to blink after completing this step. If you are programming a second remote, repeat this step. The indicator and turn signal lights will flash twice again after pressing the button on the second remote as well.

Turn the key backwards to the "Off" position, then remove it from the bezel. Your alarm's remote is now functional.

good luck.

 

are you sure it is the fob? Have you checked and cleared any trouble codes and reset the system? You could be fighting a reoccurring fail code that is tripping the system. BTDT

 

Well it's been over 2 years since the OP, hopefully he figured it out.

 

lol yeah sorry I never updated this. it never really made any sense because it had worked fine for months...but the battery was upside down. cant really explain it, but I flipped it around and it worked again lol.

 

Good to know, thanks, I've been sitting here patiently for 2 years.

 

what is the pin code?

I realize the problem has ben resolved but one time I installed a new battery and the FOB was still non-functioning. Turned out the positive side of the new battery had a plastic cover over it so it would not come in contact with the FOB contacts. I removed the piece of plastic to get it to work.

To make matters bad the plastic was transparent and I could not see it. Found it when I went to meter the battery out and it just did not feel like metal when I probed the side of the battery with the piece of plastic on it.
Always something to screw you up.
