Read your manual. It will give you a procedure for resetting the security mode.

What exactly do you mean by "transport mode"?
I have trailered my Street Glide thousands of miles and have never done anything special.
Please elaborate.

How long was it trailered? If the bike spent days traveling cross country and the battery went dead. You may need a new battery. I would first remove the battery and charge it. Then I would have it load tested. I believe once you get the battery up to charge or replaced the bike should recognize the FOB and all should be good.

Agree Boomer, but maybe the FOB battery is dead. I have heard of this happening to a few friends of mine.

Last year when we trailered my bike to Daytona,I didn't even think about the security going off with the fob in the truck. Got to Daytona, went to back my bike out of the trailer to ride and the battery was completely dead. Went to walmart, bought a charger. Next day was ready to go.

that isn't the problem. the problem is that all during the trip, the bike 'thought' it was being stolen so alarm was going off the whole time.

op, your battery is dead. if it won't take a charge, you probably discharged it too far and killed it. time for a new one.

bet you won't make that mistake again....

If you leave the Fob on the bike when trailering will it stop this from happening?

U don't need a new battery. The problem is you drew the battery down the 0. A normal house /garage battery tender does not throw enough amps to get it charge. Take the battery out and take it to a garage that has a battery charger that will through 15 or so amps at it . Or buy one from a Auto shop. U can charge it on 15amps for 20 minutes and then turn it down to 3 amps for the remaining full charge ! I can bet ya , after 20 minutes of full charge it will fire up !
