Those instructions must be in the owners manual! They are in my 2011 Sporty's, a whole chapter including setting and changing the PIN. If you don't have the owners manual you can download one on the H-D website, just go to the 'Owners' tab.

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the dealer has to do it the first time with the Digitech II. Otherwise anytime anyone wants your bike all they would have to do is substitute their TSSM for yours. That would kind of defeat the purpose of the "Security".

Once the initial code is set it is quite easy to change the code yourself.

There seems to be some confusion as to what needs to be done. The new TSSM needs to be coded into the ECM and others have reported that to do it at home takes at least 30 minutes with lots of system ons and offs and lots of turn signal button pushes. Once the new module is "married" to the ECM, then you can do the PIN thing. Indeed, this does prevent someone from walking around with his own TSSM and installing it in the bike of his choice and driving off. I'm confident Google would get you a guide on installing a new TSSM and you will see it is a long, detailed procedure best done with a maintainer plugged in to the bike, or trailer it to the dealer when you are ready.

A bike can be loaded into a properly equipped van in less than a minute so the security system pretty well just keeps the honest folks honest. I still haven't decided if my next machine will have the security feature.
