Hi Fatboy,

not sure about the transport mode- I haven't used it. I have disconnected the batter on my 07 several times though. Turn the ignition on then disconnect the battery. This will keep the alarm from going off.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanks guys...Steve

 

It's dry at the moment Steve - Get out there quickly!!!!!!!!

 

Fatboy,

I ran into the same problem the other night. After a few hours I managed to come up with the solution.

With the fob in range, turn on the ignition, wait for the alarm to disable itself and then pull the maxi fuse.

You can now disconnect the negative lead, though I'm not sure if it's still necessary with the maxi fuse out, I'm going to check that with the dealer the next time I'm in there.

The owners manual also says that the dealer can put the alarm in a 'Service Mode' if you don't want to leave the fob with them when you leave.

If anybody has a copy of the 07 Electrical Diagnostics Manual it probably has all this in there. Someone else here has posted the pages of an earlier manual but nothing recent enough to cover the 07's.

Hope this helps save your hearing!

Hello from Florida, Terry! I hope you still like that SideKick seat, but I see from the other thread that you haven't been able to ride it yet! Move on down to Pensacola buddy...there are several houses in my subdivision for sale! Thanks again for the hook-up after the sale...you're a stand-up guy!

Hey people...air_marshall is correct, and this is the proper way to do it! With the fob in range, turn on the ignition and wait several seconds to allow the alarm to cycle, then pull the maxi-fuse.

Believe me...I went through every other procedure listed on this thread in an attempt to disable the alarm while working on my Fat Boy. And I found it very difficult to read the manual while that damn thing is screaming (the cycle is 30 second alarm...5 second break...another 30 second alarm...another 5 second breakX 10!!!) at 11:00PM in my garage...I don't want to repeatwhat my wife and several neighbors had to say about it! The system is designed to protect the owner from a quick 'work around' that would allow the bike to be stolen.

It's a good alarm system...and it works very well.This is the prescribed method to disable the alarm for maintenance,and by doing this it will certainly reduce your frustration in dealing with this matter.

Good luck...

Steve

 

Steve, thanks for the reminder about the weather. While Vancouver usually isn't too bad here's what we woke up to this morning and the weekends not looking any better.

Same sh@t happened to me. I was deaf for a few hours after my install!
