Default Harley security system questions
Okay so I bought my 2018 RKS and it has the security system on it. My 15 Fatboy Lo did not. My question to you guys when I picked it up the dealer and I set the code to my 5 numbers, he put the bike in transport mode and I brought it home. Well its finally getting warmer so I have started adding a few touches to it. However every time I try to turn the ignition on I have to enter my code even with both key fobs with the bike, How can I change this so it will start normally?

Not sure I guess I would assume so, but it is a year old so maybe not.

If you store your key fobs near the bike for a period of time it will work the security system and kill the fob batteries eventually.

Sounds like it's still in transport mode.

I have done what the owners manual says to get it out of transport mode. Unless I am missing something

I would hope the dealer wouldn't screw that up.

Key fobs are in my house away from the bike.

Maybe I will have to take it back to the dealer if new batteries won't work . But a month ago they worked to start it and put it in the trailer at the dealer.

Should come out of transport as soon as ignition is turned on with a fob present

Fob needs to be with in a few feet of bike for it to work the security. If they in the house when you trying to start the bike that’s your problem. They are proximity security fobs and turns off the alarm when they are at the bike
