Ok gents,
Once you have tightened the set srew up so tight that you cant turn the ignition key any more!!! Has anyone managed to work out how to get the key / ignition to work again?
Cheers

That's exactly my problem now too. I guess I cranked mine down too tight. Now, even with the damn lever removed from the ignition switch, I can no longer lock the ignition. I guess I know what I'm working on next.....

It is the same setup as CVO...and I like it. I didn't know it can be simply programmed this way. Do you have further information on this please?

The dealer programmed it using the digital technician.
So the main switch is always locked in the OFF position, all I have to do is use the engine run/stop switch on the handlebar to turn the ignition on and off.
If the FOB is present then the ignition comes on if there is no fob than it requests the PIN number for about 30seconds if no input then it switches off again automatically.

It came with the Fobs (security system) from the factory, all the dealer did was reprogram the bike so you don't need to turn the ignition switch on to start/run the bike.

Thanks, next time I visit the dealer, I'll ask for it. Hope he will be able to do it...

I forgot that some of you guys had the security package. I'll have to find a keyless ignition or security package
