Default Disabling immobiliser

Apologies if this is a stupid question but can anyone tell me how to disable the immobiliser on my '22 LRS when the bike is being trailered?

I've got it over-wintering in a friend's workshop. I took it there on a trailer and as soon as it moved, the alarm system was triggered. I haven't got it on audible but the indicators were flashing all the way. Didn't matter as it was only a couple of miles up the road. But I'm moving house in the spring and it's a two and a half hour drive away. I've got two bikes to move so they'll be going on a trailer. I don't want to have the ignition on all the way there or have the the system flashing the lights the whole time.

My KTM doesn't do this. The immobiliser/alarm isn't triggered unless the wheels are turning, but the Harley goes off with any movement.

Can you leave the fob on the bike during the trip?

There is a procedure, that I can't remember of course, but it's in your owners manual or I'm sure you'll get your answer with a quick Google

Look for transport mode.

Simply put:

ACTIVATE
1) Cycle the ignition switch ON and back OFF quickly
2) Hold both turn signal switches until the turn signals flash

DEACTIVATE
1) Turn the ignition switch ON
