Well $h*t!
So I am working hard yesterday afternoon during the course of my duties, I must have lost my key and fob out of my pocket. For all I know it got lost in a trailer load of mangos going to California somewhere. (If you happen to recieve a truck load of mangos in the near future and find a harley key and fob, please let me know lol!). So I had to bum a ride home to get my spare and low and behold the fob wont turn off the security thing. Then I spend the next few hours trying to put the code in manually and having to wait ten minutes in between each attempt cause none of them are working. Thus I had to trailer the bike and get it to the dealer so they can work their magic and make her work again for me. So here I sit, stranded with no ride having to get a lift from my co-workers to get to and from work and what not. I tried searching threads here to find some way around the security deal but had no luck.
The morale of the story is... well, I dunno, dont drop your keys in a truck load of mangos? Should anyone happen to be more knowledgeable than me on this type of matter, please enlighten me on the magical securty feature. Im glad it works as well as it does, but for craps sake I wish it would let me override it.
Ahh.... I feel better now. Well maybe not.

My key fob didn't work one day before work. I pop'd er open took the battery out... but the battery back in and BINGO. I am going to put a spare battery in my... toolbox, toolbag or Swing arm bag when I get one.

When I first got my bike home, I tried both fob's separately, only one worked, swapping batteries didn't help, the dealer had only linked one to the security module !

I realize this is a little late, or I may be preachin' to the choir, but anyway...
The owners manual walks you through the steps on how to manually operate
the alarm. Do it at least once in the safety of your garage or wherever, just to show yourself that you can do it. And write these steps down on a piece of paper or business card and stick it in your wallet.
Every year, replace the Panasonic 2032 battery in your key fobs. The fobs KNOW when a year has passed, trust me on this.
