Just took delivery of a new 2019 Softail Low Rider. Followed instructions in the Owners Manual for setting the PIN code and they didn't work. Can anyone who has recently set the PIN code on a new bike help me?

 

Was it like this?

3. Cycle the Handlebar Kill Switch to RUN - OFF - RUN - OFF - RUN

6. Enter the third digit of your PIN by pressing the LEFT turn signal switch (X) times



7. Press the RIGHTturn signal switch 1 time to move to the next digit.



8. Enter the forth digit of your PIN by pressing the LEFT turn signal switch (X) times

Just an FYI, the service manual for 2014-2016 Touring gives an incorrect method for changing the PIN (it says cycle the ignition switch, which is wrong).

Drove me crazy, then I checked the owners manual, and it gives the correct procedure.

 

You need to be fairly quick when executing the first few steps. Any hesitation in between seems to cause failure. Took me a few attempts before I was successful. Followed the Owner's manual to the letter, just sped it up a bit.

 

Slightly different procedure with the keyless ignition. The OFF/RUN (kill) switch is the ignition switch.

 

Played with the procedure several times and found the right click speed and it worked. Thanks for the advice all submitted.

 

Another requirement that is not spelled out in the owners manual is that the "Ignition/Acc" switch must be in the "ignition" position. Process will not work in "Acc". Also, the only way it worked for me was to start with the "run/off" switch in the "off position" and toggle it as described by K Melancon in the first response on this thread. With the "run/off" switch in the "off" position, turn the "Ignition/Acc" switch to "ignition" then toggle "run/off/run/off/run" then IMMEDIATELY hit the left turn signal twice QUICKLY then the right signal quickly.

Hope this helps others that struggled with this based on the lack of clear info in the owners manual.

THANKS to everyone above!!

 

PS. My comments directly above are related to a '19 Ultra Limited.

 

Thanks all, this thread helped! I finally got around to trying to set the PIN on my ‘17 Limited.

- It was a PITA
- I wasn’t going fast enough in the first set up steps.
- As a literal engineer, I wasn’t sure what turning “off” the “engine kill switch” meant. If the function of the ‘kill switch” is to “kill” the engine...then, logically it is killing the engine when it is “on”.

well, anyhow now it’s set..l

 

That is a confusing way to look at it....

The switches have always been marked with lettering or symbols denoting Off and Run.

When the switch is off, it is off...The engine won`t run.

It`s called an off/run switch.
