Has anyone bought an additional key fob yet so you don't have to pass the original one back and forth with the co-rider when doing a two up trip. Might be handy to have one if the significant other wants to access the bike when the rider isn't at it.

It would certainly be handy for a lot of reasons. Kind of absurd that a high end vehicle like this comes with only one key. I see on the Ford Super Duty forum that I belong to that guys buy the FOBs online for a "reasonable" price and are able to program them themselves. I'm sure the smart guys here will have the answers here soon.
Come on Honda! Only one key fob with a near $30K bike! :frown2:
I hate to even guess what a second one costs! $500.00 maybe? Might be, if in line with all the other accessory prices.
Anyone actually buy a second key fob? If so, how much was it?

I ordered and received a second fob
List $147
Actual $114
The dealer couldn't figure out how to program it for my bike..
Any clues yet?

Where did you order your fob? Your dealer?

Yes... Just be firm but polite and tell them you don't expect internet prices but you're not going to pay full retail either.

Some one posted this earlier
Honda calls out a special tool, PN 070PZ-ZY30100 This is essentially a shorting connector, just like what is used for the TPMS sensor programing connector on the older bikes. However, there is a catch. The connector it plugs into (connector is next to the battery) has 4 wires (not just 2) so I don't know yet which wires it shorts.
The procedure goes as follows (I'm paraphrasing).
1. Turn off all FOB's except the one that is already programed to the bike.
2. Open left saddlebag
3. Turn Ignition ON
4. Connect shorting connector within 15 seconds of turning ignition on.
5. Turn the registered FOB for the bike OFF
6. Turn the new FOB you want to add ON - Wait 15 seconds
If you have more FOBs to register (limit 4 total) -press left saddlebag button and repeat step 6
7. Remove shorting connector
8. Turn ignition off

If this procedure is correct, maybe this should be made a sticky? I think many US buyers will need this info.

Jim, procedure is in the manual
The SECOND thing you need to do is put the key that is key-chained to your FOB somewhere safe, away from the FOB. There is an integrated identical key within the FOB that stays with the FOB.
With that number, the procedure to start the bike without the FOB is (I'm paraphrasing).
1. Open the left saddlebag using the key (that you set aside from the "SECOND" thing above OR the key from within the FOB itself if you actually have the FOB but it is malfunctioning as far as it being used to start the bike.
There is a key hole that lives under a little plastic cover on the back of the bike, above the rear fender. You pop off this little cover to reveal the key hole. Using the key, turn the key left and this will open the left saddlebag.
2. With the left saddlebag open, find the little cable pull (little silver circle - looks like a tiny donut. It lives on a little post in the top center of the saddlebag. Take this donut off the post and pull the cable. This will open the RIGHT Saddlebag. Put the donut back on the post.
3. Now, with both saddlebags open, take the NUMBER from that little white tag and go to right handlebar. You will use the right fairing pocket button and the starter switch to enter this number into the bike.
4. Think of the right saddlebag button as your input device and the starter switch as an "enter" device. Zero is no fairing button push (just hitting the starter button). "1" is hitting the button once, then hitting the starter. "2" is hitting it twice, then starter button to enter, etc. The bike will "beep" with your entries. Once the code is finished the bike will automatically start.
5. If you mess up you must start all over again.
An interesting procedure, but it does work.
We should all practice it once or twice as the time you actually NEED to use this procedure is probably not a good time to LEARN it!
Cheers.
Jim, the procedure to start the bike without the FOB is in the manual. The FIRST thing you need to do is record the number on the white plastic tag that was ziptie'd to your FOB when you got the bike. Take a picture of the number too with your phone for safe-keeping. If you lost or don't have this white tag, call your dealer, they can reach back to Mother Honda with your VIN and get the number.

Yea, it seems to be a pain. After you do it once, it actually goes quite well and the PIA factor goes down. JMO.
