Default Security System light staying on

What does it mean when your riding and your security red light comes on and doesn't turn off until you restart the bike. 2015 Ultra Limited

your owner's manual will tell you that if the red security light stays illuminated, that you have a dtc stored.

there are several ways to retrieve your dtc codes. some are posted as 'stickys'

In other words, there's something not right with your bike and it is trying to tell you that.
If you're under warranty, take it to a dealer. If not, learn how to retrieve the trouble codes, get a FSM and start to work.
Or, if you're not the DIY kind, take it to the dealer/Indie of your choice.

Last time I checked, new bikes still come w/Owner's Manual, right? Might want to do some reading...

Nice first post.

We get a lot of these and unfortunately many seem to be just to screw with the members and a waste of time. The one post wonders.

Sorry if I am wrong on this one but I have been right more times than not with these types of posts.

I didn't think he'd been harassed too badly yet. After all, many questions like this are in the manual and it really should be the first place to look.
Despite that, my first response was meant to be helpful given the limited info available.

But, I have been taken in by OPWs before...
