Manual way is: turn on ignition with run switch in on position. Press both turn signal switches at the same time. Use the left button to make the number higher and the right button to advance to next number after last number hit right button and then hit the start button and it should start. If the code has never been changed it should be set to 00000 from factory- I think don't have manual in front of me right now.

Every one of these threads makes me glad I don't have the security system. The last entry makes me wonder how one enters a "0". I have also wondered if there was a standard factory code, can't believe there is. If so, anyone familiar with the system could walk down a line of bikes and enter it, and take the one that started for a ride. Some security!

I would assume that everyone that buys a bike with a security code will personalize the code. The system allows one to toggle through the numbers, this is how the numbers are chosen. I would think that the harley security system is about as good as any.

always carry the wallet card thats in the back of the owners manuel it even has a place to write your code,imagine that.as for preset think its done at the dealership at setup,who knows what your dealer used to initiate it,some use the first or last vin# other use zip code,really no telling.
