Default security system question

New bike (3 days old now) and I'm trying to figure out some things. I changed the code for the security system and decided to test it. I left the fob in the house and was still able to start the bike. I figured it was because the fob was too close to the bike so I put it in a drawer in the bedroom at [:@]the back of the house. Still didn't work. It's as if the system isn't armed. I'm clueless!

mine can be 10-15 feet away on the other side of the garage wall, sitting in my office and the system is armed and operational.

Can't solve your problem, but if mine is more than 6-8-feet from my bike, it's armed. I was working on my bike one day in the garage. Had the fob in my jacket pocket with the jacket on my work bench about 6 feet from the bike. The lights kept flashing, driving me crazy until I took the fob out of my jacket, and put it the tour pack as I worked on the bike.

Monza,

Are you sure the dealer activated the fob's? They are not automatic and must be activated with a code in the fobs. This happened to me and I was in the same boat as you. The alarm would not work and I actually drove the bike away without a key fob with me. Go to the dealer, ask them to activate it. It should only take them 10-15 minutes.
Hope this helps.
