+1 WAIT for it to prompt you for a PIN

I find doing it from the left side easier. The salesman even said its easier from the left side when I bought the bike. (as he showed me the top secret dealer code as written in the service manual..)

I said it before; I'll say it again to everyone. This is a skill, practice it!

You read correctly. My 2008 does not have the security system so I have not read every detail re the security system. From reading on the forum, I believe that one of those modes mentioned will disable the security to "simulate" a bike without the security system. Should I replace my 105,000 mile veteran with a new machine, I will be forced to accept the standard security system. At that point I will thoroughly study the manual to learn every feature and over ride function of the system and then put it into the mode that makes the security system disappear for ever more. Then I will conscientiously lock the bike as I have done for these many years and hope a pro doesn't decide he wants it more than I do because even the security system won't stop him..

yeah, that's going to take the dealer to do that. if you put it in transport mode, it automatically comes out when you cycle the ignition. maintenance mode, requires the dealer to do. you can't just do it by pressing a couple of buttons.

If I wasn't so old with only one eye I could probably do it under 10 seconds!

Will Braille FOB's be available soon ??
