Default Security PIN change question...

As I do my search, I wanted to pop this up and see if I can get an answer.

So, I need to override and change my security pin. I'm unable to get the original PIN from the dealer where I purchased the bike right now due to they will only give it to me in person to verify who I am. Good on them, but that ****s me because I live too far away from them.

Anyway, do you need to know the PIN (from dealer) to override the security system and/or to change the PIN?

Thanks.

Although I havven't changed it yet, my dealer told me the 'original' PIN number is the last 4 (or 5 - I don't remember the exact # of digits) of your ViN.

I heard that a lot and also heard they come from factory with 31313.

The other issue now, is to change the PIN it looks like your fob must be working too. Or at least that's what I read on here. My fob is not working either, ****ing great!

Don't need to know the current pin to change it. My dealer sets them all to 11111, easiest number to enter I guess.

If you don't have the owners manual you can download it from the H-D website, go to the Owners tab.

If you have a working fob, you can program a new PIN # without knowing the current. You said you fob isn't working, did you try a new battery (in the fob) - a 2032 (found just about anywhere) installed with positive (+) down

That rumor started because the owner's manual uses 31313 as an example. Mine was 11111 before I changed it.

If you follow the steps for reprogramming, once your in programming mod it will show you the pin that is currently in the system.

begin with the kill swt off, tune Ing on, filp kill swt 3 times ending with the swt in run mod.left turn signal twice, right turn signal once.

The code will be displayed.

Use the left turn signal to change the number the right turn signal to advance to the next number.

When done tune the kill switch to stop and turn off ignition.

I think the '13 and older bikes are a bit different on changing the PIN. I don't have the manual right now but I remember flipping the left run signal 3 times and then the right once when I changed my PIN.
