hello all
sorry for being a pain but the bike when I press the keyless start just shows the red bars in the dash the bike in on a optimate charger
never had this problem before it does not show low battery on the dash what am I doing wrong??

most likely a flat battery in the keyless fob - wedge the fob in between the rider & passenger seat cushions at the mid point and try again - if this does not work, do the same with the plastic spare key

simple job to change the fob battery if you use the correct technique - most pound shops sell replacements - see keyless key fob battery replacement?

I assume this thread led to the subsequent thread about not starting on the side stand. Comments there seem appropriate.
