why would you want to remove it, if you got it, just don't use it. save yourself some time. plus it may help in resale value

Tape the fob inside a bag, under the fairing, in the tour-pack, under the seat, etc. etc. etc.

In fact, there is another thread current right now about the possible/alleged removal of a security system. Find out where this dealer is located and they can probably tell you!

Go to the dealer and have them put it in the Service Mode. Take the batterys out of the fob. Then leave it in the Service Mode. If you ever want to re-activate it just put the batterys back in the fob and your good to go.
