Just because I'm curious, and since you are in the know, how do they start the bikes and run them - on their little dyno at the factory - that have security already installed on them coming right off the line?
Looks like just having the Security module installed (and not initalized) does not disable the vehicle right away until later when you set it up during PDI or something.

Do you know they do that? Master key or something?

I apologize for the late reply.When we receive the bikes the ignition switches are unlocked and the keys are ziptied to the front brake lever,on touring bikes the maxi fuse is in the left saddlebag sealed in a bag with other misc.parts.The bike can be started by just installing the maxi fuse and putting gasoline in the tank.The key fobs are in a separate bag with the antennae for touring bikes,the fobs have a white tag on them with a bar code.During PDI the bike is connected to the digital tech to check for open recalls,trouble codes,etc..To activate the security on a bike with security a PIN mus be assingned by the tech. on the digital tech.,we have a standard pin we use at our dealership.I can't speak for other dealers as new bikes we have been traded from other dealers have had everything from the last 5 of the vin to who knows what.After the pin is entered on digital tech.the fobs are married to the bike by scanning the bar codes on the tags on the fob,if the tags are missing the numbers found on the inside of the back of the fob have to be manually entered in the spaces for the fob on the digital tech.Even after the fobs are married to the bike if the tech did not enter a pin in the space provided,the security will not be activated until a valid is assigned to the bike.I hope this answers some of your questions.Have a great holliday,and ride safe!
