After periods of inactivity, say a month or so, the security system on my 2009 CVO Softail Springer always seems to have trouble recognizing the FOB. It catches on eventually, but not before A LOT of noise and pissing off the neighbors. Anybody else have this problem and if so, what did you do about it? The bike is on a tender when I can't be riding and the battery is always topped off. Any ideas??
Thanks!

 

Did you try changing the battery in the FOB or using the other FOB?
Can you disarm the security using your PIN?

 

Doesn't sound like the security system to me. If your bike is making a lot of noise, I assume you mean it is trying to turn the engine over? If it is doing that then the security system is fine IMHO. More likely you have a problem with the starter electrics or starter clutch. At least consider that as a possible problem.

 

No, I'm sorry, should have been more specific. When I say "noise", I'm referring to the alarm.

 

The only times I've ever noticed that issue, is if my FOB battery is weak, or my FOB was stored within the proximity of the bike

 

Fair enough, which takes us back to 14GuineaPig's post #2.

 

The key hook is close to the bike. Thanks, I'm going to change the FOB battery and start keeping the keys farther away from the bike.

 

That should definitely help

 

this is what my problem was. .

mine would recognize and function correctly with my daily carry FOB, but the stored one i had on a shelf close to the bike, wouldnt disarm on the first try, usually on the 2nd but definately by the 3rd, and ONLY when i put the FOB on the seat, after that it was fine
