Default Factory security system question

Is it possible to make it more sensitive? You really have to give mine a good shake to make the alarm go off..

Thanks

I don't think you can adjust. Most of them work of the ignition or the on off switch.

What year bike do you have? I have a 2005 SE Fat Boy and the owner's manual shows 4 settings.
1. Extremely low
2. Low sensitivity
3. Medium sensitivity
4. High sensitivity

This is what my 2005 FLSTFSE (SE Fat Boy) owner's manual states on page 66.
1. Turn ignition key on-off-on-off-on
2. Press left turn switch 2 times and release. ( turn signal signals should flash 2 or 3 times)
3. Press and hold key fob until confirmation is received. (1 flash of turn signals)
4. Press left turn signal 1 time and release. Turn signals will flash to indicate the current option selected:
1 flash- extremely low
2 flashes- low sensitivity
3 flashes- medium sensitivity
4 flashes- high sensitivity
5. Press and release left turn switch to advance through options. (Turn signals flash to indicate the new option selected. 1,2,3 or 4 flashes.
6. Turn ignition key off.

the '08 Owner's Manual doesn't say anything about sensitivity or how to adjust.

wonder if a dealer would have that info?

i had me issue with my SG. U cannot adjust the sensitivity. HD dealer adjusted my footpeg to lean a little less ad that solved my problem since this would place the bike more upright and the sensor would read earlier since its really made to sense bike in the standard upright postion. try it out.

I'm not sure, but I think that '06 was the last year you could adjust the sensivity.
