i have always started the bike in neutral with the green neutral light on but it still does nothing. i did try the throttle twist and it fired right up and i've observed that after it starting, it will recognize all of the keys. however, 5 mins after shutting the bike off with the key in the OFF position, the bike again will not recognize any of the keys. i even tried to use the red key to reprogram it many times but it never goes into reprogramming mode with the 01-30 countdown thingi.

luckily, it's hibernating for the season as it is snowing here in vancouver, and so i will have to wait till spring to take it to the dealer.

IMO, I'd try and track down the problem before the Spring.  That way if the bike has problems coming out of hibernation, that's one less thing you'll have to account for in trying to get it back out on the road.  [thumbsup]
