Maybe your fob has a bad battery?

I just reset the PIN on all my Harley’s yesterday. If you are setting your PIN and you don’t turn the Engine Run switch to off, it will continue to flash every time you start your engine. So, turn the ignition on, and if your PIN is flashing, turn the Engine Run switch off and then turn the ignition off. If that doesn’t work, you got me....Ron 😂

Battery in the FOB for sure. I just went through this on Saturday. Both of mine needed to be replaced. Problem solved.

Still don't know my pin.

Ok, if you still don't know your PIN, then the real problem isn't actually solved is it?
It would be a very good idea to take a look and what your PIN is set to now!
If not, you will be left stranded ones of these days.

Buy an Evo. Mine hasn't ever done that. Not even once.

As already mentioned, it's probably dead batteries in your fob[s]. I'm don't recall anywhere in my owner's manual mentioning a setting that requires a password to start the bike.

I respectfully disagree with the dead battery idea. A dead battery is like a missing fob. The alarm would go off instantly, not ask for the PIN.

I tend to think @SanJuanRon is onto it. But I'm not a Harley Mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Heck, I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

@Damien Hunting , have you been into the PIN reset function lately? Any chance you didn't exit out correctly?

The code keeps coming up because it’s waiting for you to confirm the code (turn Engine Run switch to off and then ignition to off). Try it....
