SECURITY SYSTEM
Components
- The security system consists of a control module, a hands-free antenna mounted on the motorcycle and a hands-free fob carried by the rider.
- After parking the motorcycle, set the OFF/RUN switch to OFF, and the security system will automatically arm within five seconds. While armed, the starter and ignition are disabled and the rider may leave the motorcycle knowing that the module will activate an alarm if someone tampers with the ignition or attempts to move the motorcycle.
- When the fob is present, the security system will automatically disarm when the OFF/RUN switch is set to RUN, or when the TRIP switch is pressed (for accessory mode).
Options
See a Harley-Davidson dealer or www.harley-davidson.com for security system options.
- Smart Siren II.
- Security Pager Receiver II.

FCC REGULATIONS
FCC ID: L2C0027TR IC ID: 3432A-0027TR
FCC ID: L2C0028TR IC ID: 3432A-0028TR
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE
Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
SECURITY SYSTEM FOB
- Fob Assignment
See Figure 27. Key fobs are electronically assigned to the security system by a Harley-Davidson dealer so that the motorcycle can recognize a fob’s unique signal. Only two fobs can be assigned at any one time.
Replacement fobs can be purchased from a dealership but can only be assigned to the motorcycle by a trained Harley-Davidson technician.
NOTES
- The reusable label found on the fob packaging lists the serial number of the fob. For reference, affix the label to a blank “NOTES” page in this Owner’s Manual.
- The serial number of the fob is also found on the inside of the fob. See SECURITY SYSTEM, Fob Battery.
- The module will arm only if the fob has been assigned by a Harley-Davidson dealer and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has been entered in the system. The PIN should be recorded on the Personal Information page in the front of this Owner’s Manual and on the removable wallet card.
- Should the rider misplace the fob or if the fob fails, the rider can refer to the wallet card and use the PIN to manually disarm the system. Refer to SECURITY SYSTEM, Arming and Disarming and SECURITY SYSTEM, Troubleshooting.
- The PIN can easily be changed by the rider at any time. Refer to SECURITY SYSTEM, Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Riding with a Fob
- Always carry the fob when riding, loading, fueling, moving, parking or servicing the motorcycle. Carry the fob in a convenient pocket.
- Do not leave the fob attached to the handlebars or store the fob in a luggage compartment. Unintentionally leaving the fob with the motorcycle when it is parked prevents the system from disabling the ignition and activating the alarm. The motorcycle can be turned on and started whenever the fob is within range.
- Do not ride with the fob stored in a metal case or with the fob closer than 3.0 in (76 mm) to a cell phone, PDA, dis-play or other electronic device. Any electromagnetic interference may prevent the fob from disarming the system.
- For added security, always lock the fork and remove the key when parked. If the fob is within range and the motorcycle is unlocked, tampering with the motorcycle will not activate the alarm.
Riding without a Fob
If the motorcycle is ridden off without the fob, the odometer window will display “NO FOB” after five seconds at any speed above 5 mph (8 km/h). If the motorcycle is stopped and the OFF/RUN switch is set to OFF, it will require a PIN entry to disarm the security system and restart the motorcycle.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a number that can be used to disarm the security system in case an assigned fob is misplaced, fails or if the fob cannot communicate with the motorcycle because of electromagnetic interference.
A PIN is a five-digit number (1-9, no zeros).
Changing the PIN
To maintain security, the rider can change the PIN at any time. Refer to Table 24.

- Armed: A lamp that blinks approximately every 3 seconds indicates that the system is armed.
- Disarmed: After the system disarms and the ignition is on, the lamp will remain illuminated for approximately four seconds and then turn off.
- Service: If the lamp remains lit continuously, see a Harley-Davidson dealer.
On arming, the turn signals will flash twice and the siren will chirp twice. While armed, the indicator lamp in the speedometer face will flash every three seconds.
The system must be in the Chirp Mode for the siren to chirp on arming or on disarming. See SECURITY SYSTEM, Siren Chirp Mode (Confirmation).
- Once disarmed, the rider may ride or move the motorcycle for parking, storage or service without setting off the alarm.
- Fob: An armed security system is automatically disarmed when the fob is present and the OFF/RUN switch is set to RUN.
- When the system disarms, the siren will chirp once and the security indicator lamp will illuminate for a solid four seconds and then turn off.
On any motion, like lifting the motorcycle up off of its jiffy stand, the system will electronically “poll” for the presence of the fob. If the fob is present, the system disarms.
Personal Identification Number (PIN): If the fob is misplaced or if the present fob fails to communicate, the system can be disarmed with the Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Disarming with a PIN
At any time during a PIN disarm, if the fob is brought within range of the motorcycle, the security system will disarm when the system receives the coded signal from the fob.
- If a mistake is made while entering PIN, wait two minutes before another disarming attempt.
- The security system will remain disarmed until the OFF/RUN switch is set to OFF.
