My dealer uses 11111 for all the bikes they setup. Kind makes sense, it's the easiest number to enter. One of the first things I did was change it.

If all it took was disconnecting the battery to wipe out the code, the security system would be pointless.

So no, disconnecting the battery will not lose the security code.
Taking the battery out the FOB and replacing it with a new one won't cause any issues either.
