I have a 2007 ULTRA w/o the security system. The "red key" light stays on all of the time. Also the bike will not start unless it is neutral. Any ideas? This problem just started @ 2500 miles.

 

[sm=popcorn.gif]Wheres your fob?? maybee......

 

Capt, he said his 07 ultra doesn't have the security system,so I'm sure theirs no FOB, but I may be wrong[sm=confused06.gif]... "D"

 

It's throwing a code. Take it to a dealer and have them plug er in.

 

HHMM.. Just thinking.. why the red key display if no security???

Just computer ralated glitch or code problem??

 

Yep, gotta be an ECM glitch... Thought about the FOB at first just as you did, had to re-read it..."D"

 

Have you changed to LED lights? (turn signals)the Led lights don't put enough load on the electrical sys and will make the key light come on. you would have to get a load equalizer to take care of that. easy fix.

 

+1 on the led problem, my fatboy did that to me.

 

Thanks for the resposes. No LED's. Does have the HD plug up to unite the brake light with the rear turns. The "red key" is not a real bother but the fact that it will only start in neutral has the potential of being icky if the engine dies and requires a quick search for neutral. It does not show a code. Again it has no security system. Even tried disconectiong the battery w/o any luck.

 

It won't start except in neutral or in gear with clutch depressed. If you have aftermarket levers they may not have the small protrusion in place to trip the switch allowing it to be started in gear. Mine is like that and it will only start in neutral. I always park in neutral and am accustomed to finding it quickly, so it isn't a problem for me. That said, there may come a time when I can't find neutral for whatever reason and I have 50 cars lined up behind me at a light, trying to get it started. I'm thinking about having my stock levers chromed and sell the others on Ebay.

As for the light, I don't know what to say except that if you could find the wire feeding that LED you could cut it. I'm not sure if that would cause a fault code, so doing that would be experimental. Without the security system there is no need for the LED.

I've thought about cutting the wire and re-wiring it through a switch so the light could be activated when the bike is parked, simulating an active security system. Maybe add a blinker in the circuit if appropriate.
