need some quick help with secuity system
hey guy. 07 RK classic. a week or so ago I had to move the bike around the shed and did not have the FOB with me. of corase the lights flashed like crazy as the system did what it was suppose to do and when I was done the lights stopped flashing and it reset itself. now today I just went out to ride and the system won't let me start it. I have the FOB and the system comes on but the lights just keep flashing on me. so next I try to input my override code and still nothing. I even changed the code again and retried it and still nothing. I assume that the bike sees the FOB because it let me in the system to change the code.
what going on here? is there something that needs to be done after the alarm has been tripped? a reset or something before the system will work as it should?

No reset procedure. Will rearm on its own.
It is possible that the bike's battery was on its way out and the few minutes of flashing lights and polling for the fob killed it. Check the battery with a volt meter and charge if necessary. Also, even tho it appears the fob is being found because you reset your pin, change the fob battery anyway ( or take it out, rub it, put it back in).

ok I did everything you said and it was the FOB battery. did not have new one but taking it out and cleaning it did the trick.. which leaves one question. why would it not take the override code and start???? battery at 12.2 volts, all fuses good.

your bike may have been getting an intermittent signal from the fob. the next time this happens (think rfi interference in a parking lot), take your fob away (15 or 20 feet), and then try the override code. should work then.

The OP has a 2007 RK. I think that may be too early for the proximity FOB. My '06 is the "dumb" fob that is simply hold the button to arm and double click to dis-arm. With these "vintage" FOB's the bike doesn't know how close or far away it is when you're not pushing the button.

Just replace the FOB battery. Could be a tell-tale sign of things to come. Not sure on the '07, but you need a working FOB to change the code. Also you may need to wait a couple minutes before reentering the code again.

Can a fob security system transfer to another bike
Hello, I've got a 2013 Street Glide and it doesn't have a security system at all. I recently found a great deal on a 2008 1200XL Nightster that came factory with the proxy fob system on it. I don't really need a security system on it but would like to have this on my Street Glide. Can this system be transferred over from one bike to the other? Thanks
