Starting with no fob alarm not turned on.
Hey guys got a question here... so today my wife and I went for a rip and I forgot my fob at home...I know about the PIN code to start it but here's what happened....
got back to the bike, turned the ignition on and pressed the start button she fired up without the pin.....
Isn't the bike supposed to have an ignition shutoff? or does the system need to be armed?
Thanks

I think it depends on if it's a push button fob or a proximity fob. Proximity fob it shouldn't start. Push button will start if it's not armed, no matter where the fob is.

Thanks for the Replies all...
Bigrig... I didn't even start the steps to enter the code... just turned ign and started...
Madsonp.... Nope only have one fob...
Which brings me to Oz Nightrain... did some digging and found some info... your right
Proximity fob would auto-arm it...
Mine is a push button. so for the starter disabler to engage I have to use the Fob to arm the system. Or I change it to auto arm after 30 sec (instructions in the manual).
So those with the older fob system.. (Push button) remember that you have to arm the system for the starter disable to work.

Wait so to recap, all this time, you carry your fob... You, not using your button, walk away thinking that yours has proximity sensor and arming the system ... Not using fork lock etc...
I mean if that's true, you're really lucky...
Lol.... Pretty funny, yeah? Clean living... Awesome you find out the easy way

LOL not quite amkaos...But it's a good thing I live in a small community, hell we don't even lock our doors here..Gotta love Canada.
But when I go into the cities nearby normally I have my fob with me and arm the system cause I have the Siren with pager.. but today (3 ride of the season) I left my fob in the garage..
I assumed that the factory alarm (starter disable) was like my Van and trucks. Passive arming of the starter disable only. But for the alarm you have to push the button. My vehicles, if the fobs aren't present when the key is inserted the vehicle won't start till a fob is present even if the alarm wasn't activated.
So now I know specially when I go into the big cities nearby to make sure I have my Fob lol..
