Default Security Dead?

After having my 09 RK up on the lift for 8 hours (had my key fob in my pocket when lifting, lowering, and working on it), I noticed a couple of days later when I went to wheel 'er around in the garage that the lights were not flashing like usual when moving the bike without the fob nearby.

I did not disconnect the battery or do anything electrical when I was working on it.

Any idea what to look for with this?

is the security light flashing ?, did you leave ign. switch in acc. position instead of off position ?, is the other key fob on or near the bike ?, is the fob in your pocket and you did not realize it ?, did you put alarm system in transport mode and did not know it ?, did you try to start the bike or just move it around ?

Really? I'd think that would keep the fob from communicating with the bike and be an issue for turning OFF the security system with proximity.

Why would the security system not come ON (with the fob in the house) with a dead fob battery? Ya know what I mean?

Good points. Now i am wondering if ACC position so I'm running out to check. I checked that I didn't toss the other fob in the bag when I was dong some work...nope.

How do you put it in Transport Mode? I am not familiar, so I'll check the book.

Security light in speed-o on and flashing fine. When bike is jostled around, nothing happens still. I dunno...stll need to figure out what "transport mode" is and see if I somehow put it into that mode.

do the signal lights work, turn on ign and try left and right signal. read somewhere if a bulb burns out signals will not flash. the red flashing light says that security system is on,
