@barneyboy
Would the Techno Research unit be able to reset this bike?

Math is not my strong suite either, but wouldn't it be 9x9x9x9x9=59049? 9 choices for each of the 5 places?

Could you elaborate? Dedicated antenna, or does existing wiring serve as an antenna?

I believe left TS wire doubles as antenna. That is the way it was explained to us when I was a tech at the Moco. I cannot tell you how many times just holding the fob button has reconnected the systems. It usually happens after loss of power or extended storage. It also works in places like Sturgis where there are eleven gakillion cell phones and security systems active at once.

You're right Vernal. I apologize for giving incorrect info. I was trying to convey there are many more combinations than the OP suggested.

If the OP is lucky, his PIN will be a low number. If his PIN turns out to be 99999, and he systematically continues to enter a different PIN every 10 minutes, he'll be at it for over a year at the rate of 1 code every 10 minutes.

Odds are holding the button as I advised will do it. My hopes of a resolution reply are low as I have not seen him back and I sent him a PM.

Sorry. Still working on codes. My wife had her right knee replaced yesterday and I haven't had time to look at the forum. I'll try holding g down on the button.
