Fob Assignment
See Figure 1. Key fobs are electronically assigned to the Harley-Davidson Smart 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.
NOTE
- 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 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART 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 HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM → Arming and Disarming and HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM → Troubleshooting.
- The PIN can easily be changed by the rider at any time. Refer to HARLEY-DAVIDSON SMART SECURITY SYSTEM → Arming and Disarming.
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 76 mm (3.0 in) to a cell phone, PDA, display 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 8 km/h (5 mph). 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.
