Call the dealership and get them to talk you through disabling the security.

There is a default password from the factory, unless it has been changed.


I'm honestly thinking about removing my security system. I cary full coverage on my scoot; after 3yrs i'm beginning to feel that annoying, gay-sounding *BEEP-BEEP-BEEP* every time i cut off the bike and the single *BEEP* every time i turn the ignition on is not worth listening to on the off chance that the alarm will go off and keep someone from sitting on or stealing my bike. It almost never sits anywhere but my garage at night anyway.

If i were you, i'd have them pull the Security System next time you have the bike in for Service. Carry some decent insurance to mitigate theft, and accept that there are always going to be people - who's Momma didn't teach them manners - that are gonna see a motorcycle and think there's nothing wrong with throwing their leg over it wiggling the handlebars.

If you can find it...

On my Ultra, when I had to pull the Main Fuse, the Alarm kept going off.

The manual said to place the switch in the "Ignition" position(don't actually start it) and then pull the fuse.

This worked for me.

Default thanks

thanks Jeff and rickss69 for the actual location, that's just what I needed. Took about 5 minutes to unbolt and unplug. And rickss69, thanks again for the photos, they really helped. I'll take it to the dealer and have it checked out. Loading it tomorrow won't suck.
