2009 Fatboy Security package
i recently bought a 2009 fatboy, and when i got there i found out it has the fobs that have to be within so many feet to start the bike, etc. So i assume that the security package was added to it.
my question is, is there still a way to manually start the bike with a key in case the fob isnt working.
i think the batteries are already low bc when i try to start it sometimes the turn signals just flash and it wont try to start, but if i mess with it long enough it will start. i'd really like to be able to start it w. a key incase something like that happened. 100% electronic just kinda worries me
is there a way to start it if your fob battery dies?

ok, he did give me a big red owners manual that he bought seperately.
This will have step by step as well as the code? or youre saying i can reset the code as long as i have the fob with me?
also, regularly, with the fob in my pocket i can just walk up, sit on the bike, then start it right?
bc right now its like even w the fob in my pocket the lights start flashing, then it alarms out and wont start the engine. like i said i think the battery is dying but i didnt know if i had to stand beside the bike and turn it to ignition, then wait, then start it, then get on. or i could just sit down on it, turn it to ignition, wait for the fuel pump primer, then go

Sounds like the battery is low on your fob. You may want to see if the dealer you bought it from has the code just to be safe. I have had to use it a few times and for an old guy like me it takes quite a few trys. You have to be quick (and sober) good luck, Mike

i didnt buy it from a dealer. would the big red manual have the code it in? or just the procedure for entering a code?
The manual (I'm assuming it's for the security system) will give you the steps needed to enter a 5 digit override pin. It will not give you the pin that is currently programmed, Unless the previous owner hand wrote it in the manual somewhere. The code us whatever the previous owner chose. So changing it would be wise cuz if it's not changed he can walk up to your bike and start it whenever he wants! On my Electra Glide I turn the ignition switch on and have to hold both turn signals in within a few seconds. I then can enter the code using the odometer display to see the digits. One turn signal button changes the number and the other will advance it to the next digit. If entered correctly the bike will start. It does sound as if your battery is dying given your symptoms. I keep a spare battery in my tourpak in case it dies out in BFE! With a good battery you should be able to just walk up to the bike get on it and start it. If your o n a android phone I know there is a great app called V-twin reference that gives you step by step instructions for entering the over ride pin. Not sure about i-phones though. Good luck!
