Problem with chirp mode
Need help. I have a 2011 Road King Classic that has the factory alarm. Purchased the horn. Installed it and cannot get it to go into chirp mode. I even tried purchasing a 9volt battery and fully chargeing it and installing it with the same result. Still no chirp mode. I have followed the instruction and still no chirp mode. When I pull the 40amp fuse the siren goes off. So I know the horn works. It is installed correctly. Any suggestion would be greatly appricated.

There are instructions in the Owner's manual to enable/disable the Chirp Mode.
Chirp Mode
On arming the chirp mode, the siren responds with two chirps. When disarming, the siren responds with a single chirp.
Switching Modes
Cycling quickly through two armings and disarmings will switch the system from either the chirpless or the chirp mode to its opposite.
1. With the fob present, the ignition switch to ON and the system disarmed, turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. When the system arms (two flashes of turn signales) immediately turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Wait until the security lamp goes out, then immediately turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. When the system arms (two flashes of turn signals), immediately turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for system to disarm.
I tested this on mine and it worked great (although I like the chirp mode).

Sanlyn's post covered the process that worked on my 09 streetglide. I remember I had to go through the process several times to finally get it to work and I can't remember what I was doing wrong but it eventually worked.

---and a quick note for anyone thinking about buying the H-D siren, do a search here. many of us use a $6 radio shack siren on our bikes.
I use 2 so $12 cost.
I get chirps when arming so makes walking away easier, and of course a loud and annoying siren should i move the bike in the garage with the fob not where I thought it was...
