So im in the process of selling my bike and its been sitting for a year. I put a charge on the battery and went to start it and "theft error" appears on the display and the starter wont engage.

Sounds like the anti-theft code was activated somehow. Hoping someone has an answer for the oem generic code for you.

Your battery is still dead, you will get a theft error if it is too weak.

Letting it sit self discharging for a year without periodic recharging will kill the battery. I think it's called "sulfation" or something like that. The sulfur comes out of solution and plates the lead.

Time to replace your battery then. Pressing all the buttons in the world won't fix a issue due to low voltage.

Leave the battery charger on it overnight, then start it the next morning with the charger still connected.

Won't fix a bad battery but will give you 12vdc.

The owners manual says the default code is 0000. But I have never set mine and when I entered 0000 the IC says incorrect code. It also says if code is forgotten you have to take it to the dealer so they can reset it
