Sounds like mine. But I can also turn the key fully counter-clockwise to lock the ignition, and the fork as well -- same position.

The PIA occurs when I want to move the bike in the garage when I don't have the fob and have to run upstairs to get it. I don't have the choice to turn it off and leave it off. Other than that it's adequate. I think for the $$$ there are better more flexible systems out there.

Thinking about buying the part and installing myself. Did anyone that installed their own have difficulty with the dealership just doing the programming? How much did you pay for the programming? Thanks, I have 15 Ultra.

The fob arms/disarms the security system on a proximity principle.
So, all you have to do is put the "keys" in your pocket. Now, if even thŕt is too much of an effort the complainant should better get himself a stack of burgers and stay in front of the telly.

That seems simple enough, but.....

I'm weighing whether or not to buy & install the siren & paging module for my bike (factory security system is installed). My issue: there have been more than a few times I have manually moved my bike without the fob while in the garage & set the security system off - which has been nothing more than blinking lights. Had I had the siren installed, it would have been activated along with the siren inside the house - probably sitting on the couch yelling at me to shut the &*%# thing off!
I like the system as it is, but wish you could install the siren & manually select whether it was activated or not.

Any body remember the AMF security system from the early 70s. the mercury switch in the license plate bracket with an alarm that beeped until you reset it with a key?
That was the first thing off the bike when I got home.
The new systems are pretty slick on the touring bikes today.

I did it myself, it took about 45 min following directions. You do have to take it to the dealer to have them activate the FOB to the system. I have mine for my 2012 that won't work on my new 2015, (shocker). My fob is active for this system so it would save you the dealer visit. Make me an offer and its yours, just sitting in my tool box collecting dust
