Know Your Security System

Tips and Tricks

Most new Harley-Davidson motorcycles are equipped with a state-of-the-art security system. Here is a brief overview to help familiarize you with this important feature.

You can arm or disarm your system using the available key fob remote or manually, using the turn-signal buttons on your bars which is covered in the owners manual and has to be set up by the dealer/owner of the bike. Most dealers will program a code into the bike so they should have this info if you wish to use that code.
In addition to the standard operating mode, there is also an auto-arm mode ,a special bike-transport mode as well as a storage mode.
Wallet-size instructions are included with your owner's manual.
Keep your security access code in a safe place for the manual mode. If you arm your system and lose your code, your alarm module must be replaced.
Complete instructions are available in your owner's manual , you should acquaint yourself with them before they are needed.

You should be given a training session on the operation of your remote when you pick up your new Harley-Davidson motorcycle by the sales person.

More info on arming and the features of the system are available in this section of the forum where this post resides.

Once again your help has proved most valuable.

I wanted to remove my battery for maintenance but every time the connection was cut the alarm went on I tried the transport mode to no avail, reconnected the battery and did what I should have done in the first place check this forum.

Typically after going to 31 pages of threads on electrical and 2 on alarms it was the third from the end that solved my problem but solve it, it did. Next, I'll learn to use the search.

Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Thanks Romain.

If you just turn on the key and remove the maxi fuse, you would be in business without all the noise.

Hi Glider, I'm new to a bike with security system, 2007 fatboy with no manual... I want to remove the battery for winter storage. Does your post of "If you just turn on the key and remove the maxi fuse, you would be in business without all the noise" mean that's all I have to do before I remove the battery? And what about next spring? I have just gotten done reading a ton of post on finding out my code, which I plan on doing first thing in the morning and have printed out the "wallet card" to record the info. Just want to be sure to do it right... Thanks

Yes, turn on the key and remove the maxi before removing the battery. Next spring just install the battery then the maxi. Have the fob handy just in case but the battery in the siren has to charge up again.
