Key Fob
Well, I had the deadly "pocket failure" and lost my fob out of my jacket pocket on the express lanes of a VERY busy highway. No way I could go back and pick it up (even if it hadn't been run over by the time I could get back to it), so I bought a replacement.
I had read the horror stories here about the price and the delay and I was pleasantly surprised. It was CDN$250 (about $185 US) and it took 3 weeks to get it.
On top of that, there was no confusion about having to get the dealer to program it or anything - despite what the online fiches say - I just had to hold it under the rear fender (where you hold the emergency key) the first time and the bike responded to it after that just like the original had done.
Only the whole, apart from feeling dumb for losing the original one, it wasn't an outrageous experience. I probably should have bought a second one too...
