Thanks, Just spent 1/2 hour looking for the serial numbers from my FOBs. The serial numbers are on the inside also but that doesn't help when you lose one.

This is what I use to secure my key fob in addition to knowing the security code and how to enter it.


It is the most secure way I have found to carry the fob.

good attitude. usually, the 'victim' bitches about how crappy the hd security is, when in reality, it's gotta be pretty good. it's keeping you from stealing your own bike

Good practice to get in too.

If you bought your bike at the lake, they set all of them with the same code during setup.

You should be able to go through the password learn [30 min procedure], and that should get it running, but would most likely need the FOB's to be re-married to the bike by the dealership.
