ok, for the life of me I cannot put this bike on ‘chirpless’ (meaning I want the alarm to activate silently). It is a 2019 SG-CVO, so it is `keyless`, everything is activated in the kill/run switch on the right controls, not on the fork-lock like the regular SGs or electras.

i could do it easily on my `roadster` which is also keyless, just on-off-on-off-on-off-on-off paying attention to the red light, but no matter how many times I do it on the sg it always `mep-mep-mep` when turning off/arming alarm. irritating AF!

is there any special trick for this bike? i’ve read the manual and it says to do exactly that, turn on, wait for light to go off, turn off, wait for light to go off, turn on, rinse, repeat...

one interesting thing is that it starts the mep-mep-mep as soon as the light goes off, and it always does the 3 meeps... maybe the siren is phucked or something?

 

So, I found this in another Harley forum. Hope it helps because I don't have a CVO.

Perform the following to switch between chirp and chirpless modes.

1.With security fob present, set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN.
2.When the security lamp turns off, set the OFF/RUN switch to OFF.
3.When the security lamp turns off (but before the turn signals flash twice), immediately set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN.
4.When the security lamp turns off, immediately set the OFF/RUN switch to OFF.
5.When the security lamp turns off (but before the turn signals flash twice), immediately set the OFF/RUN switch to RUN. The system changes mode. The siren chirps or remains silent accordingly.

 

yep thats what ive been trying... and variations like waiting for the signals to flash, etc. nothing works... sux

 

In 2020 a two second count was added to the procedure. Might want to give that a try.

2019 procedure below.

2020 procedure below.

 

guess what… the damn procedure IS working (either one)

there is a `chirp` when you turn it on - this chirp gets enabled/disabled by the procedure.

the three chirps on turn-off / arm security stay there. i think they mean that there is a problem with the battery inside the siren (like I effing care)… oh well, guess I’ll have to live with it until I figure it out.

 

SIREN DIAGNOSTICS

• If the siren is armed and the internal siren battery is dead, shorted, disconnected or has been charging for a period longer than 24 hours, the siren will respond with three chirps on arming instead of two.
• If the vehicle's charging system is producing less than 12.5 volts, the internal siren battery may not charge.
• If the siren does not chirp two or three times on a valid arming command from the security system, the siren is either in chirpless mode, not connected, not working, or the siren wiring was opened or shorted while the siren was disarmed.
• If the siren enters the self-driven mode where it is powered from the siren's internal 9 volt battery, the turn signal lamps may or may not alternately flash. If the security system activates the siren, the turn signal lamps will alternately flash. If the siren has been armed and a security event occurs, and the siren is in self-driven mode, the siren will alarm for 20-30 seconds, then turn off for 5-10 seconds. This alarm cycle will be repeated ten times if the siren is in the self-driven mode.
