with the key
I am fairly new to owning the newer bikes, never had one with a security system. Everytime I am in my shop and want to start my scoot the alarm fob is on the bar in the house. What do the rest of y'all do with yours? Put them in the saddle bags? I know this type of question brings out the smart a$$ in people so take your best shot. I'd also like to hear from the more serious crowd also.

I keep my FOB in a zipped pocket inside my jacket. Jacket never stays with the bike unless I'm riding. I also bought the kuryakyn push button release for the fuel tank that way I never have to worry about taking the fob and key out of my jacket to unlock the tank. Only started doing this after I nearly lost the fob one day. Works well for me

With the fob in range (I usually put it on the seat while checking the pin on trade ins) Turn the ignition switch on and off 3 times and turn the switch to the on position...Press the left turn signal button twice...The signals will flash about 3 or four times...Press the right turn signal once...The pin should show up in the odometer...Some times it won't do it the first time you go through this sequence...If it doesn't repeat the sequence until you see the pin in the odometer...I hope this helps.

Owner's manual
Turn ignition switch on/off/on/off/on
Press left turn signal switch 3 times
Press right turn signal once and release
The turn signals will flash 3 times, and the pin will appear in odometer, with the 1st digit flashing. Write down the 5 numbers so you know what they are.

I treat my bike keys like my car keys. When I'm on the bike I have my keys. When I'm home, they're on the wall. Can't start either without the keys. Where's the problem?
Just make sure the FOB is far enough away from the bike that you can't start it.

I leave a key in the saddlebag and carry the fob. That way if I'm out, I have a key to lock stuff up, but it ain't a pain in my pocket. I keep the fob on a carabiner,
