The following configurations are available on the security system unit:
Alarm sensitivity.
Auto-arming feature.
Storage mode.
Factory settings for the security system include:
Medium motion alarm sensitivity.
Key fob arming mode.
Storage mode set to 10 days.

Operation is subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Arming The System
There are two methods to arm the security system:
Remote-arming: See Key Fob. Owners may enable security alarm and immobilization functions with a remote, personally carried
transmitter. This transmitter is referred to as a key fob within this document.
Auto-arming: Arms the security system within 30 seconds after IGNITION switch is turned OFF. To enable auto-arming see Using
Auto-arming below.
NOTES:
The vehicle cannot be armed with the engine running or the ignition ON.
International vehicles are configured for auto-arming. This cannot be changed.
Using Key Fob
See Key Fob. Hold down the key fob button until the system responds with two turn signal flashes and two chirps from optional siren. To
assign a key fob to a motorcycle, refer to Key Fob Assignment.
Using Auto-arming
Auto-arming causes the security system to automatically arm itself (without the use of the key fob) within 30 seconds after the ignition key is
turned OFF. During this period, the security lamp stays on solid to indicate auto-arming is starting up.
The vehicle may be moved during these 30 seconds without triggering the alarm. However, any motion after that period will trigger the
security alarm. Upon expiration of the auto-arming period, the turn signals flash twice, the security lamp begins to flash and the siren (if
installed) chirps twice.
To set the auto-arming selection, refer to Auto-arming Configuration.
Disarming The Syste
There are two ways to disarm the system:
Remote disarming: See Key Fob. Owners may disable security alarm and immobilization functions with a remote, personally
carried transmitter. This transmitter is referred to as a key fob within this document.
Personal code: If a key fob is not available, the security system allows the rider to disable the security alarm and immobilization
functions if the rider knows the previously entered personal code.
NOTE:
Do not forget to enter a personal code for security system vehicles. If a code is not assigned and the key fob is lost or damaged while the
vehicle is armed, the security system module must be replaced. Refer to Programming a Personal Code for personal code setup.
Using Key Fob
See Key Fob. Quickly press the key fob button twice. The system will respond with one turn signal flash.
NOTES:
Disarming function may require practice. The key fob button must be pressed twice within 1.5 seconds to send the disarm
command. The action is very similar to double-clicking a computer mouse. Light quick taps work best; very hard or very slow taps
are less likely to work.
If the system is remotely disarmed (with the key fob) but the ignition key is not turned ON within 30 seconds, the system will rearm
itself when auto-arming is enabled.
Using Personal Code
Enter the five digit personal code you have chosen using the left and right turn signal switches. For complete procedure refer to Entering a
Personal Code to Disarm Security System. To create a personal code, refer to Programming a Personal Code.
NOTE:
If you make an error while disarming the security system using the personal code, the alarm will activate for 30 seconds after the last digit is
entered. After a failed attempt, the security lamp will flash once every second for 10 minutes. During this time, the vehicle will not accept any
attempt to enter a personal code.

key ON. current trouble code is present.
Transport Mode
It is possible to arm the security system without enabling the motion detector for one ignition cycle. This allows the vehicle to be moved in an
immobilized state for transport.
The transport mode is used for moving the vehicle or transporting on a trailer with the security system armed and without tripping the alarm.
When the vehicle is in the transport mode, the security system does not respond to motion detection.
1. To exit the transport mode, use the key fob to disarm the vehicle.
2. To enter the transport mode, refer to Transport Mode.

Security System Custom Setup
Key Fob Assignment
The key fob on security system motorcycles must be set so it will operate the alarm system on the vehicle. This assignment must be
completed with no pauses greater than 10 seconds between steps. Turn the ignition OFF after both key fobs have been assigned. The
programming mode will also exit after 60 seconds has elapsed without detecting any key fob sign up messages or turn signal activity.
Procedure
To assign a key fob to a motorcycle, refer to Key Fob Assignment.
Two key fobs may be assigned to the security system. The first successful attempt to program a key fob will disable all previously assigned
key fobs. If a second key fob is to be programmed, it must be done in the same programming sequence as the initial key fob.

Personal Code
Creating Code for the First Time
The personal code consists of five digits entered using the left and right turn signal switches. Each digit can be any number from 1-9. The
personal code is intended to be used to disarm the vehicle in case the key fob is not functioning.
Record your personal code on the card(s) provided in the rear of the Owner's Manual. Carry one for reference in your wallet when riding.
To set a personal code on a motorcycle with no code previously installed, refer to Programming a Personal Code. The procedure listed
uses 3-1-3-1-3 as the sample personal code.
NOTE:
For better security, do not use 3-1-3-1-3 as a personal code. It is shown as an example only.
Decide what five digit code the owner would like to use. The code will be programmed using the turn signal switches and key fob. Record your
personal code on the card(s) provided in the rear of the Owner's Manual. Carry one for reference in your wallet when riding.
When programming the personal code, the security lamp flashes to provide feedback when entering each digit.
The number of security lamp flashes corresponds to the number currently selected for a given digit. Therefore, the lamp may flash
1-9 times depending on the number entered.
Press the left turn switch one time to increment each digit of the code.
Quickly press the key fob button twice to advance to the next digit of the code.
NOTE:
The programming mode exits upon turning the key switch to OFF or if no turn signal switch/key fob button activity occurs for 60 seconds. No
data is saved for partial configuration attempts of a first time entry.
Modifying Existing Codes
If a code was previously entered, the lamp will flash the equivalent digit. Each additional press of the left turn switch will increment the digit.
To advance from 5 to 6, press and release the left turn switch 1 time.
To advance from 8 to 2, press and release the left turn switch 3 times (9-1-2).

Storage Mode Configuration
The security system has a special mode for long term storage. This mode prevents the security system from discharging the battery after a
period of days without any ignition key switch activity. Refer to Storage Mode Options.
If the security system is set to infinite, the system will not go into storage mode. In this case, the customer must use a trickle
charger to keep the battery from discharging after 60 days of storage.
Vehicles will enter storage mode whether the security system is armed or disarmed.
In storage mode, all alarm functions are suspended and the receiver is shut down and will not respond to the key fob. The vehicle is
immobilized because the starter motor and Ignition/EFI controllers are disabled. When the storage mode is entered, the security lamp stops
flashing to conserve power.
To wake up the security system from storage mode, the ignition key must be turned ON. This will trigger the alarm if the system was
previously armed. You must use the key fob or personal code to disarm the system and stop the alarm.
If the ignition is switched from ON-OFF quickly, then the security system will wake-up without activating the alarm.
To set the storage mode preferences, refer to Storage Mode Configuration.

Security System Maintenance
Key Fob Battery Replacement
Replace the key fob battery every 2 years.
1. See Key Fob Open Case: Front. Place a thin blade between the 2 halves of the key fob case and slowly turn to open.
2. See Key Fob Battery Replacement. Remove the old battery and discard.
NOTE:
Dispose of old battery in accordance with local regulations.
3. Install a new battery (Panasonic® 2032 or equivalent) with the positive (+) side down.
4. Verify the button rubber is fully seated.
5. Close the case by aligning the two halves and snap together.
6. While standing next to the motorcycle, press and hold the key fob button for 10-15 seconds until the security system responds with
two turn signal flashes/siren chirps.
Battery Disconnects and Configuring
After reconnecting a battery, the security system will not enter the configuration mode on the first attempt. Therefore, after all battery
reconnects, the configuration sequence must be modified as follows.
1. Set run switch to OFF, cycle ignition key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON and press left turn signal switch twice.
2. Wait for one to three confirmation flashes of the turn signals and then set ignition key switch to OFF.
3. Repeat steps listed above.
4. Continue with configuration sequence listed.
Disabling the System
Disarm the security system using the key fob or personal code. At this point, the security fuse may be removed or battery disconnected.
Troubleshooting the Security System
If the key fob button has been pressed numerous times while away from the vehicle, the key fob may fall out of synchronization with the
security system. If this happens, the security system might fail to recognize the key fobs commands.
To solve this problem, press and hold the key fob button for 10-15 seconds until the security system responds with two turn signal flashes.
After confirmation, you may resume normal key fob operation.
