Once you reset it jot the code down and kep the sequence card in your wallet. It would be a good idea to practice the procedure once or twice. It's like trying to reset the change oil light in your car. you do the procedure but it doesn't work the first time or two, probably cause you missed a step a didn't realize it.

Happens in downtown Toronto due to CN tower radio stuff interference. Like others have said it is worth it to have an easy code stored. I have had to start it a few times this way. Plus it helps when the FOB battery gets low. I replace mine every May long weekend.

I'll have to reread my owners manual. I don't remember anything about using the odometer numbers. I set my code immediately after reading about it in the manual. I've never had to use it (knock on wood) but I know the number. Hadn't thought about practicing the entry sequence in a while. Should probably try it when I get home.

I've never heard of that one either but I have had a different situation. Every once in a while, I can climb on to my scoot with my security fob attached to my belt loop as always and the siren will chirp a couple of times when I upright the bike. I've checked the battery and it's good.

In some major cities that have free wireless internet capabilities that are is covered by what is called a "mesh" network of wireless signals and on occasion when those signals cross or overlap it can overcome the signal from your fob and interupt it. The signal patterns are circular in nature just like a cell coverage area and all are effected by building, trees and other obstructions. By federal law ALL transmitting/receiving devices must accept potentially interuptive signals (FCC Part 15), look at most any cell or cordless phone and it will be stated on it somewhere, same rule applies.
Look at most gas stops and you will see a big dish on the roof, that is the sat uplink for debit card transactions in outlying or rural areas. These can provide that same type of interference when active.
All you have to do is get outside of the overlap.
OR
Set the disable code as others have said, whish of course beats the crap out of folks seeing you push your scoot

Yup, have heard of several instances of interference. Usually its power lines from above. Learn how to disable the alarm by entering the PIN so you don't have to move the bike.
Disarming the alarm with PIN:
1. If necessary verify the correct 5 digit PIN
2. Turn ignition key to IGNITION
3. Quickly within 2 seconds of turning key hold both turn signal switches in until confirmation.
> Key icon flashes at a fast rate In the odometer window a flashing dash will be followed by four more dashes.
4. Enter first digit (A) in the PIN by pressing left turn switch A times.
> The first digit (A) in the odometer will be the first digit in the PIN.
5. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The first digit is stored and the dash will flash.
6. Enter the second digit (B) in the pin number by pressing LEFT turn switch B times.
> The second digit (B) in the odometer will be the second digit in the PIN.
7. Press RIGHT turn switch one time. (Serves as enter key)
> The second digit is stored and the next dash will flash.
8. Enter the third digit (C) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch C times.
> The third digit (C) will be the third digit in the PIN.
9. Press RIGHT turn switch one time. (Serves as enter key)
> The third digit is stored and the next dash will flash.
10. Enter the fourth digit (D) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch D times.
> The fourth digit (D)in the odometer will be the fourth digit in the PIN.
11. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The fourth digit (D) is stored and the next dash will flash.
12. Enter the fifth digit (E) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch E times.
> The fifth digit (E) in the odometer will be the fifth digit in the PIN.
13. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The fifth digit is stored. The icon stops blinking and the alarm is over ridden. You can now start the motor.
