You are both correct. I will give that a shot as soon as my spare shows up, hopefully I have better luck. This one FOB thing is stroking me out.

Don't fight the KiPass, embrace it! If you search the threads, you will find just how magical it actually is.

Just ask Stevewfl, calling Steve... Come in steve

I am slowly learning to simply accept and embrace the FOB. You can't see it but I am doing a little FOB dance!

Fob stories never end. It's the gift that keeps giving.
I was ready for a ride last week and left my fob upstairs. I had the passive fob in my tankbag, tied to a string in a pocket. I just reached down and used the passive fob that day. It wasn't the end of the world. Sometimes when I killed it, I would shut it off with the stove knob, and turn it back on before the Kipass locked. Just to avoid going through the motion. ;)

Last Sunday I placed my fob on the tank in front of my small tank bag before going for a ride. I placed it there just so I could turn the ignition on to raise the windshield to clean it. I got side tracked for a few minutes after cleaning the windshield & then threw on my helmet & took off. I went about 30 miles then came home, I parked the bike & while getting off of it I looked down & there was the fob still sitting on the tank. I can't believe it was still there & felt like smacking myself for being so stupid. I always have the fob in my front pants pocket but this one time I got out of my normal routine & it almost was a very expensive lesson !!.

Now this is just typical of the uber- wonderfulness that is KiPass: it will not even allow YOU to defeat it! Talk about a tough, reliable system....

I LOVE the fob. If loving the fob is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Yes magical is accurate! KiPass is the bomb diggity, and its mad pow-ah resides within the FOB   ;D

Small update.
I finally got the dealer by my house to program the new passive Fob I bought online or so I thought. I took the bike to them along with said Fobs and they were all ready to do it. When I got there, the guy immediately apologized because they programmed another Fob last week on another C14 but they forgot to remove the cable from that bike and they can't get ahold of the guy to get the cable back. So I still have only one Fob, they said they will call me when the new cable they ordered gets there. Good times!

Makes me wonder what else they left behind?

Eventually, after the happy-drugs wear off.  But the settlement, even after the attorney takes his cut, will make it feel a lot better!

I am finally very, very, happy to report that I now possess 2 fully functioning FOBs!!!
Del Amo Motorsports in Redondo Beach Ca. was able to successfully program my spare passive FOB.
They took a total of 40 minutes start to finish with zero snags. They charged me $62.50 labor and I was happy to pay it.
If anyone on the forum is local and they need work done on their C14, I highly recommend them. They are very familiar with our bikes.
