***Warning****
Backstory: after a what seems like eternity of a winter I was finally able to the the bike out for a ride. Been staring me in the face all winter there in the garage. so I fire it up let her warm a bit and take off around the block, hit the main street get into to throttle and get that grin (you know what i mean) get home park in the drive, come out a little later to put her away for the evening and no start, I look, key and fob is missing (yes i left it in the lock, im bad about letting it hang there) take off in truck, see the fob laying in the road, get out, its busted. So here starts the journey
jump on the internet see that i can bypass the security, try all the known codes, nothing works, get manual out, nothing written down. scoot up to dealer, they say bring it in they can redo fobs. I research more talk to several other techs, they cannot do fobs with a locked bike, i call the orginal selling dealer they give me their standard code, no go, no way to track ownership, Im stuck with a locked bike
Basically they say that if you do not have a working fob, or know the security code the only fix is to remove the HFSM and replace with a new one, maybe they get lucky and dont have to do the ecm maybe they have to, coundlt tell me for sure. Basically they are saying there is no back door into their system to override security codes. Basically i am going to remove the HFSM and replace it with the TSSM to bypass the alarm at this time.
So Please do yourself a favor, if you do not have an extra fob..GET ONE.
if you do not know the security code of your ride...LEARN IT, OR CHANGE IT
a new fob is 40 bucks at the dealer, an hour to program, a new HFSM starts at 350.00 plus labor to install and program. its a very minor precaution but at the end of the day, knowing that code or having that fob will save you a lot of headaches and bills in your wallet. Everyone with the passive system should know about the bypass and how to set it and what their current code is, it will keep you from having non start security system problems
on a side not I have some folks at corporate that i know that i have asked about a backdoor into the system but no one has gotten back to me
please take the time and learn this simple procedure
last 5 of my vin was my first attempt, tried most of the standard codes my dealer even said when doing a vin search they showed a code but alas none worked.
Any chance you can solder your fob moboard back together just so you can unlock the bike and change the code one time or is the FOB completely destroyed?
