Thanks Skratch , yes my 10 RK , really is no problem the way it is , just didn't know much about it . I think I've only set it off twice in the 2 years I've owned the bike . I may just have to go out and give it a bump to see just how long it goes off for before it shuts down . My curiosity has gotten to me ever since it happened yesterday .
this would be a good time to mention, if you have security with the audible alarm, make sure that you deactivate the security before you do anything like change a battery. or else the alarm will go off in your garage, and inside, it is damn loud. also, be familiar with transport mode. you don't want to trailer somewhere and find a dead battery when you get there.
and know how to use the pin.....

You guys got that right ! That was one of the very first things my buddy taught me when I bought this bike , how to use the pin if my fob battery gave out , and to change it every spring , carry a spare and so on .

The battery in my wife's Grand Cherokee is under a panel halfway under the passenger seat. Not too much of a pain in the *** to change, but a sort of odd location.

I get your point but the fact is the murders are taking place in a very specific part of Chicago. Chicagoland is massive. Most of it is perfectly safe. But you head south of Downtown a ways and you get into the ****. Not that it's any different anywhere else. Milwaukee is very safe overall, but there are shootings every night in the hood. And I guess it wouldn't be politically correct to have maps of the most dangerous ghetto numbers. If one were to draw a radius around the high murder centers of any given city, then compare the population in that circle vs homicides, there would be some interesting stats.
On a job I had before that, I remember working with guys from the South Side, who complained about having to go downtown to see a movie. I'd grown up in neighborhoods that always had theaters within walking distance. I was young, and it took me a bit to put the pieces together, and understand that some businesses weren't safe in some neighborhoods.
I'm guessing that data like that on businesses would probably outline the really bad areas fairly well.
