I was wandering around the Boston area yesterday for about 45 miles, and stopped to get some wine for dinner. Returning to the bike, I got the little blinking red light in the panel display, and, of course, the RT would not fire up. I had replaced the remote battery two months ago, and the battery of the bike is maintained by an Optimate-6. I had stopped for a couple of times before my last one, and all had worked fine.
Of course, since I was on a local ride, my "emergency key" was at home. I turned off my cellphone to insure no stray RF or Bluetooth was messing with the system, and insured I did not have any remotes for family cars to confuse the system.
I was just about to take an UBER home to get the emergency key, but decided to make sure the CR2032 battery was well-seated in the remote. I squeezed the case hard, walked over to the bike, and all was back to normal. It started up normally. I had not received any "low-battery" indication regarding the remote.
I've got no explanation for this, and wonder if anyone else has had this kind of problem? I do know from now on the emergency key will be with me.
